Had this gal for a year now and trimmed her up only a short time ago. She seems to be doing well after the trimming but I would like to know if we are keeping her too long? Most pictures I see of other inch plants are much shorter and fuller.

She looks pretty but these plants like to bunch up on top and they will grow there way down :)

If you trim it shorter, you can pop the cuttings in the pot and they will fill it out :)

Mine is so leggy. What kind of light is yours in?

#### Kirsty antwortete am 2024-05-15

It gets quite a lot of afternoon light. My kitchen is quite bright.

I’ve found that wandering Jews(inch plants) prefer to climb up. That’s why it’s so leggy. You don’t have to keep it short but I would suggest having it climb up

They are trailing vines in pots and ground covers if planted in the ground. They don’t climb like English ivy. You would have to tie it to a pole every inch or so to get it t climb.
