Tradescantia Zebrina (I think?) Was giving to me after being propogated. I planted it and its been doing really well and grown a lot in last couple of weeks, but only got a few leaves, and now the stem has gone floppy, bendy, and weird. What can I do to help please??

    this is zebrina! and my thought is overwatering. this pot looks far too big. a plant this size only needs a 2 inch pot. if you don't have a pot that small, switch it to water! zebrina has a shocking will to live lmfao. and to fix that bare stem, you can cut it up.

    Pot looks too big for a starter plant. The roots will rot before the plant can use up all of the water in the soil. Reduce to a 2 inch as recommended. Add lots of perlite and small orchid bark chips to the soil. The current soil looks a bit dense for such a fleshy plant. 🪴🍀
