tradescantia nanouk!

Yes what Maddie said ☝🏻 once it has roots that are 2 to 3 inches long you can pot it up in a small pot with some well draining soil and drainage holes. They look like very healthy cuttings!

It looks more like the "feeling flirty" tradescantia. I would wait for a good root system and then pot up in a 3 inch nursery pot.

Here is mine! I have it listed in my office plants if you want to take a look. The app won't let me share the specific plant profile for some reason.

I grow my tradescantia in water with fertiliser suitable for hydroponics. The ones in water are so much more luscious than the ones in my soil mixes!

These guys are very dramatic if you get their leaves wet! I find they are fast growers too.

#### Katomarose replied on 2026-01-16

Yes, I bottom water mine for that reason! I find the feeling flirty one is less susceptible to brown spots than nanouk is though!
