Wow!! How did you get it to flower!? I’m so jealous! For repotting Make sure that she’s got some nice long roots. Most people will repot with 2” roots, I usually wait til I have 4-5” roots, or secondary roots. All my tradescantia pros have done fairly well with the transition to soil, keep the soil a little moist for the first few weeks and gradually transition to a normal watering routine.

I just got it from someone who had buds on it and it flowered on me for a few hours.🥹💚

Awww how awesome it came with them. I’ve never been able to get mine to flower. But my mum who has several cuttings from my plant was able to get hers to flower.
