propagating my wandering jew and it’s already taken root!! is there any way to plant it so that it doesn’t just grow to one side like this larger plant?

With this plant in particular I found it grows better in water. I’ve changed all of mine to water only because they attract fungus nats like crazy, at least in my experience. They also fill out nicely in water

I’ve had great success with water as well. I’ve got my silver inch plant in some refurbished pickle jars!

When I repot these in soil I plant multiple cuttings around the pot :) both of these were from that method. They really took off when I gave them a grow light!

the best way to keep them from growing to one side is to rotate your pot 180 degrees every few days
