Wish mine looked like yours. What fertilizer do you use?

I just use miraclegro liquid all purpose plant food!

They are so pretty. Mine bloomed all year last year. Spiderwort plant blooms too!  
I just cut mine back because she was way too big.

Sheesh! Yours looks so amazing!!! What type of light is it in? Mine looks ok but far more pale.

Thank you! It’s in bright indirect light for most of the day, and gets maybe an hour of direct sun

Mines part sun part shade and my propagated baby is in full sun.
