AlyssaHey there, what do the bugs look like and are they on the leaves? Also, just to be courteous of others, given the meaning behind that name, itās best to call it either tradescantia, wandering dude, or inch plant or spiderwort or there are lots of members here that actually give names to their plant babies too!

We were trying to help you, just making a side note about how to not offend certain people by using a different name. Iām quite sure if some botanist decided to name a cactus āwrinkly nagging Karenā some people would take offense to calling it that in passing.

Well if they considered themselves a Karen I guess but still everyone focused on a name and no help for my plant

You didnāt ever actually answer the question Alyssa posed in the FIRST sentence of her responseā¦ā¦and then doubled down on ānot caringā if you use an offensive term. š¤¦š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø

IdaWe're using the name "Tradescantia" for these plants in Planta and any discussion about it's previous common names is not relevant. "Tradescantia" is both botanically accurate and respectful, referring directly to the plant's genus without any problematic/hateful associations. This is a great spot for the love of plants - let's keep it that way š
