Anyone have any ideas on what to do with my tradescantia nanouck? Sheās growing wiiiiiide. (About 2ft between her two arms) sheās quiet happy where she is and finally seems to be getting enough light (was getting leggy for a while) but Iād like her to have a nicer shape. Should she be growing vertical or from a hanging pot? What do yāall think/do to yours?
when it fills out more it will trail!
1 gilla Should I put it in a hanging pot to encourage it? The ends are seeming to creep upwards (but maybe thatās bc sheās getting close to the glass door)
0 gillningar sure! these are really prolific, whatever you choose!
0 gillningar Ok thanks!!! Sounds like I canāt go wrong no matter what I choose!

If you want it fuller you can always chop and just stick them in the soil. This is my zebrina that I transplanted and just chopped into hundreds of pieces and stuck in the pot. Iām truly beginning to understand how these are considered weeds in some places because the growth is astonishing.
100% in the wild thatās how they spread ā they break, they fall, they root, they creep š¤Ŗ
4 gillningar She does grow suuuuuper fast! Iāve only had her 3 months and sheās gone from 2 āarmsā that were about 3ā long to 7 āarmsā of various lengths. All growing out of her centre point. Had to up pot her already, and I think I might have to again soon, starting to see roots peep outta the bottom. Maybe I should cop and prop when I up pot her? Do you root the cuttings when you transplanted yours? Your zebrina is so pretty!!! I hope mine turns out likes yours one day!
1 gilla I just cut them and stuck them in the soil. I havenāt had much luck with rooting them in water. Iāve been tempted to get more tradescantias but Iām scared I wonāt be able to keep up! Haha!
2 gillningar Oh yea if the others grow as fast as yours then yea I can see how itād be hard keeping up! Tho they seem like a good fit for your environment. When your propād did you cut just above a node and popped in in the soil? Leaves on et al?
0 gillningar I just cut below a node and left it at that. Theyāre definitely not picky.
