    Mine always do that. It’s a Wandering Jew thing. Sheffield plants on YouTube has a really good video about them.

      I recommend calling it a Wondering Dude! That’s what people are using now that we found out that the name Wondering Jew refers to an old antisemitic trope of a Jewish “boogeyman.”

      I understand and thank you for the reminder. It’s certainly not what I meant.

      I know!! 😊 Thank you for being receptive to feedback. I used to think it was a really cool name too until I found out what it really meant. But as a funny side note— I am Jewish with ADHD (a literal wandering Jew) so I’m getting this plant tattooed on me next week as a private joke.

    Inconsistent lighting. The more sun the more purple

    Mine do that too and there fine. As long as it’s growing and the new growth looks good, I leave it alone and it’s a happy camper.
