This winter, my tradescantia wasn’t getting the sun it needed. It got green, leggy, and not something cute lol. I repotted it a month ago and hacked off all the tendrils down to the base. It’s like a completely different species after some good summer sun! ☀️🙃

Bold move but it looks great and healthy!

Yeah! The stalks/nodes are much shorter and the color is so much better! I wouldn’t have attempted this unless I knew there was a beastly root system in there (which there is) and I knew it could handle it. Fertilizer helped, too. I’m dreading September when she has to come back in, but she’ll just have to be a grow light baby!
