I purchased 2 potted Nanoks several weeks ago. They sit in front of my kitchen window and are thriving very well. One thing concerning the bruising on the leaves is they don't like water on theirs leaves. That's why they bruise. So, when I water them I make sure that no water touches the plants leaves. However, it is a beautiful plant. Thank you.

I think rain water might be OK because I just recently bought this plant at an outdoor garden Centre here in Zone 5 Canada. I didnt know anything about it and planted outside into a Planter that gets morning sun until 11am. I've had it 1 month was in a 3" pot and it's already doubled in size and one stem is even working on a flower. Not a bruise to be seen on any leaves. We just had a torrential storm, I'm worried bruises might show up now though.

Hi there, I have been growing these for a while now and you are right the more light they have the brighter the colours , also I find if you take cuttings just put them into compost instead of water they will root quicker and I find make a better plant , and your plant will send out new shoots where you have taken the cutting , great video well done regards Jeff.

I think your Chanel deserves so much more attention. By luck I discovered your chanel because I have a pilea glauca and there was not much information on that plant on KZbin or online that worked for me, and I’m glad I did. I’m still struggling with the plant, and actually just about lost it all, but I have just a little more than a few “plugs” left, so we will have to wait and see how that turns out. What happened was that the plant was gifted to me by my sister back in novemeber, but my conditions were very different, and it looked great and thriving at first but I completely killed the whole lot but there were just about 5 tips still remaining so I did what I could to try and keep it alive, and I’ve been trying to figure it out still. Thanks for all advice

Spiderworts are, all of them are some of the most prolific and easy to propagate plants I have come across. I started some for the first time less than a month ago from wet stick cuttings I ordered from ebay. A lot of nine, I just jabbed them all together into a 6" pot of damp soil. Every one of them has now fully established and is already in need of pinching back to encourage branching to make for a fuller pot. They really are quite remarkable and pleasing on the eye as well with their leaves that sparkle in the sun.

So far I’m actually really happy with pon, it’s really easy to manage and almost everything has been growing super well. The only thing that struggled is my maranta cuttings but they are now starting to look better so I will see what happens in the next couple of weeks. If pon does well, I can see that it would be a very low maintenance way of having plants but I don’t feel comfortable moving established plants over yet - so far only cuttings.

I love my Tradescantia Nanouk also. I’m in love 🥰 but I do have a question about your white caladium in the background. I had beautiful plants last summer that I grew outside. I had many different colors. But I thought they were all dying in the fall (I brought them in before it got cold) and found out from everything I read is that they go dormant when the days get shorter. So they all died off. I know you can keep your bulbs over winter and regrow, but I have bad luck storing bulbs. So are you able to keep yours alive year round? I can see it probably isn’t as mature as mine were. They were huge filling 12” pots.
@amyadwan3 жыл бұрын
It’s really a beautiful plant 😍 So last winter I did actually store the bulbs of my Caladium Red flash and planted it up in spring. The rest of my caladium I bought as bulbs earlier this year. I find that around October the red flash did look like it was dying off - leaves constantly flopped etc. I chopped it back to soil level and overwintered the bulbs, taking them out of the soil, keeping them dry and in a brown paper bag indoors. It seemed to work for me 🤷🏼♀️ But indeed mine are quite small compared to others!
@gmcris50142 жыл бұрын
I just store my caladium in the same pot after it goes dormant. When Spring comes, I just put the pot in full sun until the first leaf pops up then move it to a brightly lit area. I never take the bulbs out of the soil.

I believe the brown marks are caused by water being left on the leaves. I use a watering can with a long spout, so I can get below the foliage on my nanouk.

It’s the same for the tradescantia zebrina which I also have, don’t leave any water on the leaves and the plants will maintain their beauty 😀

Hmm I’m not too sure with this one! I would assume it’s something to do with the light as I do find mine will grow towards the strongest light source. I didn’t try to arrange mine in any way and yes over time it just started growing over the pot, which is quite tall now. It has since been moved below a window and is now growing more vertically? So I would suggest playing with where the light source is strongest if you haven’t done that already 🤞🏼
