Description
The listing, Purple/Green Wandering Jew Cuttings has ended.
Picture is the mother plant. This auction is for 2 cuttings from my purple and green wandering jew plant. GIN will be Free shipping and 4 cuttings. Will be wrapped in wet paper towels. I suggest either soaking in water until roots reemerge or straight into wet potting soil. Direct/Indirect sunlight; water sparingly once propagated.
Questions & Comments
Also called "Inch Plant" because you can propogate it with only an inch of the stem.
I have grown this accidently from small pieces swept off my porch after repotting or that just fell from hanging pots. No planting required - - roots emerged and anchored themselves.
This is a terrific gift plant because - - similar to Purple Queen wandering jew - - it really is as simple to propogate from cuttings as (1) make soil wet, (2) stick the base end in it, and (3) moisten soil whenever dry. Usually just 3-4 weeks until well rooted.
Know somebody who believes s/he has a black thumb but envies those who can grow plants? Make this a gift plant to such folk. It makes a great hanging basket, can be a terrific houseplant anyplace with bright light, and it can give ground cover with time. But more than a gift of a lovely foliage plant, you'll also be giving the gift of confidence. That black-thumbed person will be no more!
Unless this plant is kept without any watering at all - - it thrives on misting alone for long periods - - this plant will not croak.
If you do treat it well, by regular watering and fertilizing monthly during spring & summer, giving its roots good soil, it might reward you with tiny flowers of an exquisite blue.
