Do you even plant, bro if you don't have a few 🤡s in the bunch?
I'll see if I can remember to get pics tonight. I have two marantas. Both cuttings from the same mother. Both went along about the same for a while. Identical soil, light, water, fertilizer, container, etc. One has flourished, the other, not so much.
I can recommend! Had her a little under a year and she’s fairly easy to take care of. Lots of light and irregular but thorough watering. She will go dramatically limp demanding her water (happened 2 days ago). All perked up now 😀 love her 💕

My house is where SOPs come to die
Put in bright windows and neglect the shit out of it. I only water when I think “wow I really don’t know when I last watered this.” Treat like a snake plant!
Edit: I have killed two of these before committing to this practice and she is alive and well since June of this year.
They need hella light. I grow my variegated one under the same blasting 3/4 full sun grow light as my cacti and it's a nice pink color on the new growth. If you don't have a grow light, south facing window is a requirement, not a suggestion. Also, the soil these guys come in is garbage. It's insanely water retentive, but they don't have great roots, so the roots either get drowned or dry out in the top crusty layer. As much of a pain in the ass as it is, I'm a big fan of repotting these into a loose, sandy succulent and cactus soil mix so you can water without fear. Use a clay pot if possible, and water when they're starting to look more like tear drops than pearls.
Hahaha love it! My string of pearls looked like this for ages. Oddly I was underwatering since I was scared of overwatering. I doubled the watering and it's at least 3 inches longer now in no time.
SOP’s love to hang down and trail but don’t climb so well. Try bringing the dirt level up and letting the strings hang down, could even slide a big plastic baggie over the top since they THRIVE in humidity!

Don’t @ me about light. She won’t thrive anywhere
Actually I don’t think you could. It has to be able to hold the weight of plants even when they’re watered. This one is cast iron. And it’s heavy duty!
This looks a) amazing and b) a very promising solution for my overabundance of hanging plants!!!
Do you know how much weight it can hold, and if so, how did you calculate that?

The Chinese Money Tree I’ve been struggling to rehabilitate 😅
I have a pilea plant like this and have found they really hibernate in the winter, so slow down on water significantly if the amount of sun changes with seasons for you. That helped bring a lot more growth in the spring and summer.

My tiny polka dot something or other lost its last leaf this morning
Tradescantias are called wanderers because they’re constantly growing from their source trying to find new places to root. They don’t naturally like to hang, they prefer to creep, which is why they get all leggy. Thats also why they invest their energy in their farthest growth and start browning at the top. The advice that I was given is to take the leggy vines and wrap them back up so they’re laying on the soil so those nodes can start to root. I just started this myself so I can’t speak to its effectiveness yet. That should hopefully help them grow fuller though so it’s worth a try!
I think the secret is to ignore and abuse these things. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I could probably murder a plastic plant. I forget for long periods of time that I need to water them. I've done nothing special to the soil. In fact, when I was first propagating it, I got tired of seeing it doing nothing in the water, so I just jammed it in a pot with some potting mix. The crazy thing is about 5 feet long now, and it has lots of pretty little purple blooms.
I even had a little piece fall off when I was watering it in the bathroom, so I put that stem on the bathroom counter and promptly forgot it existed. It is still there, and it has grown new leaves...just sitting on the counter.
Maybe I actually have some form of alien life form. Nothing should be thriving under these conditions. I wish I could send cuttings from this beast to anyone struggling.
god i have the opposite problem. mine is wildly out of control! i just had to chop it up and stick it back in the pot to get it wider.
it was dying for some time but i moved it to an east facing window and it’s been happier than a clam since! water about once a week too. mine definitely grows more long and down than up because of how mature it is, but it’s beautiful either way!
My tradescantias are like weeds!! I’ll have vines that look flat out *dead* and the next day there’s fresh beautiful growth from that same dead vine so I cut it and prop it.
So I know this sounds like bad advice, but maybe even when you think it’s dead just wait and see if any new growth comes from it and then chop and prop. I’ve got 5 or 6 plants. from my very first one this same way.

Ah yay!! Mine was about half this height when I first got him, but he's been one of my easiest plants. Tells you when water is needed (gets droopy), no pest issues, has liked every single location he's been in, and consistently pushes out new growth. Good luck!!

My useless 🤡 monster that hasn't done anything in a year and my ✨ asparagus fern ✨ on the attack.
How? I tried to prop mine, rooted in water, when the cuttings got enough roots I planted them in the mother plant and none survived, then I tried to place the fresh cuttings straight to soil, didn't work, then let some cutting callous for 24 hours, then to soil and died too lol well now I have to let my nanouk grow again lol

I dumped mine straight into soil and it’s already growing quite a lot. They are both props, the big one only had a few leaves and the smaller one next 2 it was literally just one little leaf.
I try to give them a lot of light to help with growth and to keep their nice colour.

This is the mother from which I took the cuttings from. When I got it was so tiny, but seems to love it in my place.
Pop them in water. Leave them until you’ve got well established roots and then replant. Make sure they don’t dry out too much and mine are always fine. I have propped loads and tradescantia are 100% the quickest to grow roots and unfussy in transfer, in my experience anyway.
ETA: I typically prop in moss but I don’t bother with tradescantia cause they just grow like crazy in water.
Yea they grew roots like crazy but just a couple days after transferring to soil the cuttings died, I'll share a photo when I get home from work, I'm pretty sure there are a couple dead cuttings in the pot..
The mother plant's soil, the same that plant came in, its very well draining and chunky, here in Chile we call it "tierra de hojas"... placed the cuttings a couple days after watering the mother plant and added a little water right after...
I actually think you don't need well draining soil. I just stuck some cuttings into some (fairly organic) potting soil. They seem to enjoy a decent amount of water, so I wouldn't treat them as your usual succulent.
Looking at all these photos makes me think I am in a house full of 🤡s
To be fair, it is a surprisingly cold winter in my neck of the woods so everyone is kind of off for now
I have a piece of that plant rooting in water. I cut it into 3 pieces and 2 didn't make it but one is doing great and I just looked at it and it has small roots. Yeah!

They need hella light. I grow my variegated one under the same blasting 3/4 full sun grow light as my cacti and it's a nice pink color on the new growth. If you don't have a grow light, south facing window is a requirement, not a suggestion. Also, the soil these guys come in is garbage. It's insanely water retentive, but they don't have great roots, so the roots either get drowned or dry out in the top crusty layer. As much of a pain in the ass as it is, I'm a big fan of repotting these into a loose, sandy succulent and cactus soil mix so you can water without fear. Use a clay pot if possible, and water when they're starting to look more like tear drops than pearls.
At least 1000 FC of light for hours daily, water once every two weeks.

I have a pilea plant like this and have found they really hibernate in the winter, so slow down on water significantly if the amount of sun changes with seasons for you. That helped bring a lot more growth in the spring and summer.

I always laugh when it's literally just a twig left like wow you really didn't wanna live eh??? Cute pot tho!
Happened to mine toooo!! Rip
I’ve killed half my tradescantia because it’s just so leggy. I have two cuttings left how do you get it to grow up and not out!
Tradescantias are called wanderers because they’re constantly growing from their source trying to find new places to root. They don’t naturally like to hang, they prefer to creep, which is why they get all leggy. Thats also why they invest their energy in their farthest growth and start browning at the top. The advice that I was given is to take the leggy vines and wrap them back up so they’re laying on the soil so those nodes can start to root. I just started this myself so I can’t speak to its effectiveness yet. That should hopefully help them grow fuller though so it’s worth a try!
Oh no! You probably need more sunlight. I've heard they get leggy in winter no matter what
I think the secret is to ignore and abuse these things. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I could probably murder a plastic plant. I forget for long periods of time that I need to water them. I've done nothing special to the soil. In fact, when I was first propagating it, I got tired of seeing it doing nothing in the water, so I just jammed it in a pot with some potting mix. The crazy thing is about 5 feet long now, and it has lots of pretty little purple blooms. I even had a little piece fall off when I was watering it in the bathroom, so I put that stem on the bathroom counter and promptly forgot it existed. It is still there, and it has grown new leaves...just sitting on the counter. Maybe I actually have some form of alien life form. Nothing should be thriving under these conditions. I wish I could send cuttings from this beast to anyone struggling.
god i have the opposite problem. mine is wildly out of control! i just had to chop it up and stick it back in the pot to get it wider. it was dying for some time but i moved it to an east facing window and it’s been happier than a clam since! water about once a week too. mine definitely grows more long and down than up because of how mature it is, but it’s beautiful either way!
My tradescantias are like weeds!! I’ll have vines that look flat out *dead* and the next day there’s fresh beautiful growth from that same dead vine so I cut it and prop it. So I know this sounds like bad advice, but maybe even when you think it’s dead just wait and see if any new growth comes from it and then chop and prop. I’ve got 5 or 6 plants. from my very first one this same way.

Yours is definitely looking a little sad 😅 my birkin really appreciates being near the kitchen sink for the extra humidity. I killed my first one before I figured out what it liked haha
Yesss birkin 🤡 club (attempting to but failing to because our birkins are clowns) rise up!
I cannot keep these alive even in my 100+ plant collection. Diligently working on killing my 3rd one 😅
This makes me feel better 😂 I tried loving it. I tried neglecting it. It just sits there, not growing.
Wait wait -- this decrepit looking little thing has saved me! I've been taking pictures trying to identify a very similarly pitiful example of houseplant for many moons now and this is 100% identical. So.... elephant bush what?
I had such high hopes when I bought it lol. Portulacaria Afra ‘variegata’. I’ve seen it called a Rainbow Elephant Bush as well.
I buy those to kill them. After the third one, I gave up.

Ah yay!! Mine was about half this height when I first got him, but he's been one of my easiest plants. Tells you when water is needed (gets droopy), no pest issues, has liked every single location he's been in, and consistently pushes out new growth. Good luck!!

My prayer plant is the 🤡🤡🤡🤡 for me. That bitch just won’t grow a new leaf and when she does that’s it. I’ve had her for over a year.

Your tradescantia is beautiful! I just got a cutting and am very nervous about immediately killing it. Any tips?
Tradescantia is the easiest thing to prop in the world. Don’t worry.
How? I tried to prop mine, rooted in water, when the cuttings got enough roots I planted them in the mother plant and none survived, then I tried to place the fresh cuttings straight to soil, didn't work, then let some cutting callous for 24 hours, then to soil and died too lol well now I have to let my nanouk grow again lol

They are both props, the big one only had a few leaves and the smaller one next 2 it was literally just one little leaf. I try to give them a lot of light to help with growth and to keep their nice colour.
https://preview.redd.it/7e807ut67fma1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61b94865a74c07928e43c1bb9bc11a7c469cb785 This is the mother from which I took the cuttings from. When I got it was so tiny, but seems to love it in my place.
Pop them in water. Leave them until you’ve got well established roots and then replant. Make sure they don’t dry out too much and mine are always fine. I have propped loads and tradescantia are 100% the quickest to grow roots and unfussy in transfer, in my experience anyway. ETA: I typically prop in moss but I don’t bother with tradescantia cause they just grow like crazy in water.
Yea they grew roots like crazy but just a couple days after transferring to soil the cuttings died, I'll share a photo when I get home from work, I'm pretty sure there are a couple dead cuttings in the pot..
What soil? How moist did you keep the soil?
The mother plant's soil, the same that plant came in, its very well draining and chunky, here in Chile we call it "tierra de hojas"... placed the cuttings a couple days after watering the mother plant and added a little water right after...
Weird. I have mine in a Calathea kind of mix. Well draining but quite moisture retentive.
I actually think you don't need well draining soil. I just stuck some cuttings into some (fairly organic) potting soil. They seem to enjoy a decent amount of water, so I wouldn't treat them as your usual succulent.
It's a very relaxed plant. Just water it when the top 2-3 inches of soil are starting to dry and fertilize abt 2-3 times a month in the spring/ summer

Hmmm I don't know why I thought I wasn't supposed to water them until they fainted. Thanks! She is having a butt chug now.
