Is this inch plant saveable?

It’s got green, it’s always saveable. I’d put it in some extra airy soil and water it well and often. It will probably sprout new growth nodes from the center and from the stem to the side, but you definitely want to cut off any brown or black mushy stems/roots. Even if you end up with only stems, it still can root from each node on the stem and grow new from there

I found a small leaf trying to grow in the soil

Yes!!! They are actually so easy once they root. I had one piece and chopped into three and now I have a pretty bushel in less than 3/4 months. This picture is maybe 3 weeks old. The soil is almost completely covered in little tiny plant babies now. When I return home I’ll update the picture, I will say the first two ish weeks the tallest one dropped its lower leaves but so much new growth coming in.

What species is this? I love the coloration!

#### Shelbie replied on 2026-07-06

Tradescantia albiflora 'Nanouk' (often called "Fantasy Venice") and they are a vining plant

Everyone is a little taller and a little fuller
