A trick for repotting difficult plants - take the plant out of the old pot, then use the old pot as a placeholder to pack soil around inside the new pot. Then carefully switch the old empty pot with the rootball.

This trick works well for potted arrangements too. Set the different empty pots in the way you want the plants arranged fill in the areas in between, then pull out the empty pot replacing with the rootball.

You may be over or under watering it 🤔 Imo they're so easy to grow, you should give it another go! 🙂 I've got my tradescantias in an Eastern window (bright morning sun) I rotate them once every couple days or so & water only when the soil is dry all the way through because they tend to rot if the soil is too moist for long periods of time.

@incognitotorpedo42 11 месяцев назад

Bad soil? Not enough nutrients? Not enough light? Too dry? Try taking a bunch of cuttings like he did here. Fill a pot with new potting soil, and poke holes in the soil with a chopstick, pencil, or similar. Put a cutting in each hole and tamp the soil around it. It works best to put a lot of cuttings in a single pot. The just water it when the soil gets dry on top. When the cutting start to get longer, snip off the tips to force them to branch.

I never could grow it in the past because I treated it like my other plants. However, after I went to Iguazu Falls between Brazil and Argentina, I saw it growing wild everywhere, by waterfalls and along the sidewalk. Yes, it grew like weeds. I then realized it probably needed more humidity and sun than what I was giving it in the winter. I finally have two who made it through winter. Lots of misting. Now I know how to make them bushy. Wish me luck.

@maricarol85 10 месяцев назад

It grows in complete shade on the north side of our house, even blooms. More sun though means more blooms and more purple instead of green. In the winter it turns to mush which can look pretty bad, but it always springs back even after last years big freeze here in central Texas. We have inland sea oats mixed in, another deep-shade tolerate self-propagating plant that is especially beautiful in the winter.

Thanks so much for this informative video. My mother recently passed away in a nursing facility. I had taken her a wandering Jew plant there, and it did well for quite a while. I've taken it back home since, and it's starting to die off. I suspect its rootbound, and maybe I watered it too much. I'm going to repot it ASAP with good quality soil, and maybe try to propagate a few trimmings in case the main plant doesn't make it. These are beautiful plants, but I want this one to live for sentimental reasons.

I put Zebrina around 5 terracotta pots of my Persian Shield as a spiller deco plant. Yes, the combination of this two looks soooo gorgeous! Both have purple hue that compliment each other. Both are hardy plants but.... as Zebrina an extremely fast-growing plants, they consume more spaces in those pots as time goes by. The roots, though so shallow (they are creeper/climber/hanger) tangle up with PS - it's hard to PS to compete for food with this vigorously plant! So what I separated them to allow PS have more room for roots. As Zebrina, as they were elongated about half metre in just 2 months, I put it in hanging container & few of them as ground cover. Still looks pretty awesome to my eyes. I'm from Malaysia.

@Zorbakozak 10 дней назад

I got one of these as a gift from a friend moving out of town. He'd had it for a few years and it's a leggy lady. Not bushy at all and half is vines were brown and dead at the middle and root . But still green at the ends. I took them away and kept what still lively bits i could. First time with this one. Dunno what im doing🙃 thank you for sharing this video

Thank you for this video, my zebrina is needing a repot and haircut, but I didnt know it needed that much light, mine sits way back from my east window🤔 Thanks for all the info.

...zone 6 here...I toss cuttings in rain water they root fastest in warmer weather... but not too hot...leaves grow bigger if well fed and enough light...smaller leaves in brighter light tho...collect all the varieties myself...solid green leaves...hairy leaves ... and tiny leaf versions...nice plant to share...

@Amanda-fo2bc 3 года назад

Do you have it as a houseplant or outside? I’m zone 7

Tradescantia species require absolutely no effort to grow here in Australia (especially in coastal gardens with high humidity). All you have to do is drop a stem or leaf on some soil and away it will go.

@epicgardening 4 года назад

So very true

@LynnAgain83 3 года назад

Same in the 🇺🇸 (Ohio) but I wouldn't dare leave them outdoors in the winter months!🥶🌿⛄

@peaches3835 3 года назад

Lots of the species are actually a weed in Australia so just make sure you check that

i have this one mixed with the purple one and look so aestetic.

I have a small zebrina, I can't want for it to grow big and large! It's so beautiful, with the shining green and deep purple.

@erinbosenberg271 2 года назад

Love this plant. Will definitely get one one day

@prashasti598 2 года назад

There's a very surprising and funny story of why I have this plant.. a couple of pigeons visit my balcony garden for water and twigs everyday, but make their nest right above my window, in our upstairs Neighbour balcony.. this dude zebrina was one day dropped and I decided to put it in water and it grew! God knows where they got this cutting from but it beautifies my room haha

My twin brother does the same thing with his aquarium at work. Depending on the plant, if a piece happens to fall off. . . into the aquarium it goes. Everyone has live plants in their offices where he works. Makes for a nice working environment.

@FoulOwl2112 4 года назад

That's a good idea 💡 👍

@LynnAgain83 3 года назад

Oh yes they root like crazy in water!!

My daughter in-law just sent me some Zebrina babies. They travel well thru the mail. They rooted in 3 days. I also found the dark purple ones during my walk...just growing wild.

@lisastreasures 3 года назад

Gorgeous plant. Time to repot mine.💜

@diytwoincollege7079 4 года назад

I have 4 of these growing. Every year, in January, I make new pots from cuttings. Some of the new pots I will hang outside in the spring amd some stay inside. These are hard to kill. Any piece that hits the ground tends to grow. Winter kills them in my area ,Zone 6, but they do grow better outdoors.

@epicgardening 4 года назад

Yeah, they really love to spread don't they!
