We call ‘em Wandering Dude now b/c of political correctness, but fun fact: it was called the wanderingJew b/c of its tendency to move from home to home -as theJews had to as necessity during WWII to avoid the naz15😳- it’s such an easy plant to share with neighbors.  
Aka: Silver inch! You’ll love her!!!

To the best of my knowledge, jews are not bothered by the common name "wandering jew" the jewish people definitely have wandered a lot in their history, and I'm pretty sure the name is a reference to them wandering the desert during the time of Moses rather than after world war two

Thank you for the fun fact. I had no idea. I have one of these as well and very easy to propagate. A few branches were barely hanging on when I brought it home a few months ago so I did a clean cut and planted a couple back with the momma and a few I planted them in their own small pot. All doing well. Have fun with yours!
