    These guys are crazy I tell you! 😂 With good care they can go from tiny cutting to giant plant with a cinderblock for a rootball in less than a year, I swear 🤣

      Theyre so pretty too and resilient, ive had lots of cuttings from one plant just having it for a year, they root like weeds!!

    this is my least favorite tradescantia quality, i love that they grow fast but sometimes it’s too much maintenance. to prevent mine getting rootbound, i like to discard the rootball and restart it from cuttings every year or two, when it needs it. i might save some pieces with smaller root systems but the vines that are bare by the soil will be chopped and rerooted. i just pot all the cuttings back into the same 8” pot, rinse and repeat

      Thats a good idea, I’ll keep that in mind, usually i go and take cuttings from it when it gets too big and give them away, but thats a better idea!!
