    I broke a stem off my Nanouk while watering him. I panicked and shoved it back in the soil, kinda hoping that no one would notice (I live alone - go figure 🤷🏻‍♀️) No one noticed! Not even the plant! He just carried on growing and growing and he looks “fuller” now too.

    i wouldn’t clip it until it’s grown at least a few inches larger. tradescantia propagate easily but it’s always helpful to have more to work with

    I usually wait for at least two distinct nodes and a 1/4” of stem below the lowest node before I clip to propagate :)
