Hello, I got this plant at the local book fair and I would like to care for it. Could somebody please identify it for me? Thanks, Susan
Plant Identification We always called it a "Wandering Jew" -- I hope that is politically OK. (Tradescantia zebrina I think) Some web sites I found... http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/421773/ http://www.fernlea.com/hanggard/vines/wande.htm
Re http addresses on last post I didn't follow the davesgardenworld post very carefully -- it doens't tell you too much unless you are a paid subscriber....
yes that is a typical wandering jew . not to much care for it .. it is a very easy plant to look after . just hang it up in a sunny window and dont let it dry out .. keep somewhat moist .. and very easy to root .. if a piece breaks off just stick it back in the dirt or in a glass of water .. and it will root in no time .. one of th easiest plants to care for ..
