And the sadder post. My silver inch plant was really struggling with half of it dying off very quickly. Through some research I found out that watering it with the shower head which I did once was not the smartest move especially as it was still in the same pot and soil from the nursery so all of the roots died. My entire plant was connected to roots in only three spots most of it was disconnected. First photo is how it looked the day I brought it home. I took the time to carefully separate out what was still good and was had already died and then put the cuttings in water. Planta and several websites said that you can safely propagate this plant in water if it is in a spot with bright indirect light. I put it in my window sill with all my other plants that need bright indirect light (second photo shows it in water) and a couple of the cuttings have rotted shown signs of rot on the bottom of the stem. Is there a chance I just missed some spots that had already rooted and the water made it worse? Is there a better way to propagate this plant or am so just waiting it out to see what survives and what doesn’t? I also took that last photo before changing the water out. It is back in fresh water and anything that had rotted has been removed.

    Depending on where you live, in the window might be too cold. Also, you should change the water out once per week when trying to water propagate. It was a beautiful, full plant. I can’t seem to keep these alive to save my life 🥹. They’re so gorgeous!

    Tradescantias are crawlers. Mine suffer in the winter thats kind of their nature. Come spring i clip all the stems and put them in a pot with potting soil and come summer they grow and fill the pot again. Just be patient.
