I like it because it is very purple, much more purple than the picture actually shows, and has tiny leaves, so perhaps it will stay small? So, what is this? TIA! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/oT4fCtupTvWs0ysKIUnqTA.webp?size=large) ## 6개의 댓글 ### Tokkomio님이 2025-04-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Tradescantia purple bridal veil! I don't have any experience with the veil, but I assume it's like any other tradescantia. Gets iffy in the winter, more colorful under full sun, and should be occasionally pruned lol. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/AGIYhBF-WkM6SJDQOgBiPyP3N7cGbewIIOhIUntgeSk/OYER3y7NRqe0AQy2F_PnUw.webp?size=large) #### Lynda님이 2025-04-01에 답변했습니다. Thanks, I knew it was a Tradescantia something, but Planta came up with something ridiculous, and I knew it wasn’t that. Purple bridal veil… That’s a lovely name; hopefully it will live up to its sound! ### Sunny님이 2025-04-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Tradescantia for sure. The soil got too dry and has pulled away from the sides. You may have to bottom water and bottom fertilize until the soil swells to fill the pot again. You can cut, propagate in water and put back into the pot to get fullness. #### Lynda님이 2025-04-01에 답변했습니다. TXS for that info! I did get her bottom watered, and right after, I sprayed her with NEEM, which I normally do with incoming plants. She is looking a bit skimpy, so I will take your advice, and when she gets a few longer stems, I’ll chop and prop and replant to make her look prettier! #### Sunny님이 2025-04-01에 답변했습니다. This is my Jose Puig variety. He’s dark and lovely with a neon green edge on new leaves! It shows how it started in a little 4 inch pot. I chopped and propped for almost 2 seasons to get it into a 6 inch pot. I’m still chopping and propping in a ziplock bag. 😁 ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/odrssEVeRSWSSrW1krt8-Q.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/074_sBWyTzu8-l2Ix54YaA.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/ZRgfOCOJT8eyFzw1XQ5OVw.webp?size=large) #### Lynda님이 2025-04-01에 답변했습니다. Your plant is lovely, and BTW, thanks for your post! I noticed in one of your pics that your props were in a plastic bag, which I’ve never seen before; I’ve only propped in water. Can you tell me just a bit how you go about this? TIA! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
