# Not sure what I should do with this plant. It’s doing great but it’s…

Not sure what I should do with this plant. It’s doing great but it’s getting so top heavy that I have to stake it. Should I continue to stake it or put it in a hanging pot and let it do what it wants? I’m afraid if I put it in a hanging pot that the stems would break because it’s so heavy. What do you all think?

Maybe put it in a bigger pot with more soil so it can support more of the stem

Cut it, propagate it, put it in a bigger pot.

these guys (tradescantia) tend to clamber over the ground in a carpeting pattern, so a wider pot (like for crawling plants) would leave room for it to grow how it wants but a hanging pot will also work. i had one of these in a hanging pot with the branches over the edge and they adapted just fine
