# I have never had luck with inch plants, but I’ve done a lot of…

_Posted by SquatchKnockers on 2026-07-05_

I have never had luck with inch plants, but I’ve done a lot of research and have finally learned enough to keep one alive! This cutting I did 3 weeks ago it had a couple small roots (I knocked the pot over and broke it off of the mother) so I dipped it in rooting hormone and stuck it in a little plastic pot filled with seed started and this morning I woke to this sweet sight…A flower!!! It even closes at night! 😍

I just found out mine can flower recently and it’s been keeping the 3 flowers alive for a bit now, it’s such a gift from the plant saying it appreciates the love you give it

I raise my silver inch plant outside and she seems to thrive in part-sun. Is yours an indoor plant?

Yes she is under a grow light full spectrum led it is hanging almost 20” above the plants and they seem to love it!
