that is so pretty do you know what it kind of plant it is?

It’s a tradescantia nanouk! They’re suuuuper fast growers when they’re happy.

@jessica looks like yours is THRIVING and loving life. How did you keep yours so bushy? Mines all wild and growing every which way

I learned that they like wider pots so I had to get over my fear and chopped it up. I stuck pieces all around the pot this spring and trusted in its fast growing powers. It worked!

Do they like to be a little cramped in or spaced out in the pot? I have a few long vines that can be trimmed.

I honestly love their plants. I’ve gotten so many beautiful tropical ones at reasonable prices
