# This is Veruca. She was named that because she’s an obnoxious spoiled…

This is Veruca. She was named that because she’s an obnoxious spoiled brat that is never happy. Lol. Seriously, I’ve had her for over a year and tried her in almost every spot in the house and she just doesn’t do well. I had her in my kitchen window and she did well for a while but now I have spent all morning picking these brown leaves off her. I was thinking of cutting the ends off and rooting them, but I’ve tried that before and they always rot. Any advice please?

What kind of tradescantia is it?

I find some can get hairy when not getting enough light. And I get crispy leaves when I’m not on top of my watering.

I’ve had success propagating using water or soil. Although I prefer soil propagation.

Sillamontana. I ended up trimming off the leggy ends and putting them in some water. Left it where it was in the kitchen. Not sure where else to put it. I looked at my app and I’ve had it a lot longer than I thought. At least two years. So frustrating when you just can’t figure out why they’re “unhappy”.

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with this one. I did an internet search and most sites say bright indirect and keep moist (shocking). What I found interesting is most suggested regularly pinching to encourage bushier growth.

Wish I could be more help. Maybe someone else with more experience with this one can offer advice.

Good luck!

Thank you.

Looks like my cobweb plant! Mine likes a bit lower light than you seem to have but I have the opposite problem with mine! She grows quickly and then gets too heavy and the strands die off so I have to trim it back a lot. Hope she finds a happy place for you!
