Heyyy y’all… so I have a start from a wandering June that my bff gave me for my birthday. Do these plants like to be staked up? It doesn’t rly seem to be thriving 😔 thanks in advance🤗

Trandescantia needs full sun. Place in a sunny window or add a grow light above it. It’s a succulent so it holds a lot of water. Let the soil dry out at least 1 inch between watering. Fertilize once a month in colder months and twice a month in warmer months with diluted liquid fertilizer. I use Osmocote granules in the soil instead of liquid fertilizers. It lasts about 9 months. Good luck🍀🪴

It’s actually not a succulent but does hold water in its stems. I water mine when the top of the soil is about 50-75% dry. This grows like a weed when it has a lot of sun.

Thank you for calling it “wandering June,” by the way.

Beautiful 😍

Yours looks fine. Although they get scraggly/bare on top after awhile, so it’s a good idea to cut some and stick them back into the soil to propagate if you want a nice full bushy plant.
