Wondering Dude Propagation
My sister gave me cuttings from her wandering dude. They’ve been in water for about a month. The roots growing look long but thin. Should I wait longer to move over to soil? Any tips appreciated I want to do it right 💕 #WanderingJew #WanderingDude #TradescantiaZebrina #Propagation #PropagationStation

@ForestDweller thanks! I just recently heard of this method and I’m trying it with another propagation that wasn’t doing well after sooo so I put it back in water for awhile and have been adding soil. It’s still hard to tell if that one will make it but it couldn’t been a lost cause to begin with. I’m going to try this thank you!
@theloveofplants Awesome! I’m looking forward to having one of these so I didn’t wanna try it too soon I won’t see my sister again for awhile to get any more cuttings so I didn’t wanna act too soon. Appreciate you!
@LiftLashPlant - Oh, I totally get that completely! These plants are so much fun to own! And pretty forgiving, from what I have experienced. I LOVE the color 💜😍 They love to be pinched back to encourage fuller and “bushy” growth! First picture is one that my mom propagated and the second picture is my propagation. I have already made another propagation with the original plant she gave me 😆
I could say more but sometimes saying less is better. They don’t get crazy strong roots in the beginning. I can share my sister plant journey and its roots were smaller than yours when I potted her in her now semi permanent home. Some plants are just extremely resilient and the wandering Jew family is beyond resilient. She’s only 3 months old and after succulent soil she went from 2nd picture to third picture in two weeks to the last one which is now.
@PlantJedi @theloveofplants Oh my GOSH. First of all. All of yours are gorgeous 🤩 and that one snapped at the antique store is amazing holy cow!! My sister just text me and said the same thing that they are on the resilient side. I’m not sure if I have succulent soil. I have aroid. I think you might have been the one who told me to get that for my philos perhaps. I have that and I have tropical soil and regular old miracle grow potting soil
@LiftLashPlant oh that’s just my plant stand shelves. But if you mix indoor with tropical… It should be good enough for the initial potting.
@LiftLashPlant ooh yes… I can’t wait to watch them 💥! If anything goes wrong… please do not hesitate to tag. I don’t give advice and walk away lol
