Hi Juliette! How are you? This video is in perfect timing! I had the purple Wandering Jew Plant. It grew very quickly and the leaves were very close together. I propagated it and kept making more and more plants. Two weeks ago, I bought the green version. It was a small, 2.5" plant. Right off the bat, it started to wilt and look terrible. I watered it when it was dry with hydrogen peroxide and water. It continued to decline. I just took 5 very small cuttings. Have them in water with a few drops of Superthrive. Hopefully it will come back. I have never seen the Nanock. Very beautiful plant. Enjoy your Earth Day tomorrow. Gerry HPEteacher 😎

Your voice so relaxing that you should do ASMR. The potting up sounds were like ASMR for me too . Thank you so much for this video. I enjoyed watching every moment of it. I have mine in pumice mixed with Coco Loco potting mix( 2 parts potting mix to 1 part large pumice ) . Coco Loco n XS is a coconut coir-based potting mix. I have it in good lighting. I actually have several of them around my house and they are all crispy and etiolated. Im finally going around and doing my cutting . Is it best to propagate them in water or can I just dip them in rooting hormone powder and put them straight in soil? I am going to try some of them in pure Coco Loco potting mix because I think that maybe they just don’t like how dry I keep them. I am the type to forget to water plants a lot. So I do best with succulents. Most of my regular house plants are very unhappy because it gets hot in my living room three to the grow light shelves I keep the succulents on . The tradescantia are either hanging next to windows or on tables with indirect light . I just can’t seem to get it right . Thank you again! You’re amazing. Love your style .

[@Mycityplants]

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your kind words 😀 Glad you are enjoying our videos. Nanouk will get dry tips due to inconsistent watering or lack of drainage. Schedule one day a week when you go around and check all your plants. This way you will not miss a thirsty plant. 😀 I am sure it will look much better after you trim your Tradescatia 😀 May your plant grow happy and healthy! Thank you for watching 🌱

Hope to get help with my new plants here. Since the pandemia I've adopted so many house plants to keep me company and give me comfort. It works. I'm into tropical plants mostly, but also got nanouk. Can't wait to learn from you. Thank you❣ P.S I was hoping to plant the cuttings right into the soil without keeping it in water for rooting.

[@Mycityplants]

Hi! Yes, you can propagate the cuttings in soil. I prefer water, as I want to see and makes sure the roots are developed well before I pot the cutting in soil. Green Luck! 🌱

[@TheMeganwilliams87]

Can these plants live outside during the spring and summer? I have a south facing balcony

[@Mycityplants]

Hi! Yes but not under direct sun exposure and only when the temperature is between 60F-80F + more or less steady throughout the day. Green Cheers!

[@ASMRdreamydove]

Lovely ♡ how often do you change the water while propagating in it? When i propagate the stems, theaves eventually turn brown & limp. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also, my entire plant was so soaked in a non draining pot.. i wanted to save her, now I realize she had root rot. Trying to save what's left of her. Pls help ♡

[@Mycityplants]

Hi! Thank you for watching! Change water once a week or when it looks cloudy. Some leaves turning brown while in water is very common. Hope cutting will bring new and healthy roots soon and you can have your plant back growing strong and happy! 🌿

[@LoHMysticAgent]

Greetings, how do you prevent the cutting from rotting in water? I did a few cuttings and some stems would rot and others will root. Thanks 🙏

[@Mycityplants]

Hi! Change water once a week. Pot cuttings when the roots are 1"-3" long. Thank you for watching 🌱

[@NewUkeNewYork]

I have the same problem - in fact, all of mine have rotted so far. I guess I’ll keep trying.

[@LoHMysticAgent]

@@NewUkeNewYork How long do you make your cuttings? So I found a method that works for me that you can try. Use a portable aerator and or diluted hydrogen peroxide to keep oxygen in the water. If you don't have any of those then change the water every 1-2 days. Also mix some rooting hormone in the water. Since I started doing this I have a higher success rate of them rooting with minimal stem rot.

Hi! Yes, you may support stems with sticks! Tradescantia can be finicky when it comes to watering, light and humidity levels. Make sure the plant gets a good light exposure but is away from direct sun. Allow the soil to dry between waterings and place a small humidifier amzn.to/45oho7h nearby. Green Cheers!

Hello, can this be planted directly into Pon with dirt still attached to its roots ? I’ve been having trouble removing the dirt from its roots.

When i place cuttings in water, the stems rot. Yet there is much talk about place stems in water until roots form. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO AVOID STEM ROT! (When i place in soil, they also rot, if soil is wet.) 😕

[@Mycityplants]

Hi Nancy, The most common reason for Tradescantia Nanouk root rot in water is not changing the water often enough. Change water at least once a week or when it looks cloudy. To avoid root rot in soil, use a very small pot so there is not too much soil around the cutting that does not dry fast enough. Green luck and Thank you for watching 🌱

[@Mycityplants]

Hi Lety, Thank you for your kind words and for watching our videos. Looks like you love Cactaceae family plants. They are pretty cool and amazing! Just like for any succulent or cacti, less is more! Most of the time overwatering is the main issue. Few Tips: 1. The right subtract: well draining mixture of bark, peat. perlite 2. Do not fertilize much - use Cactus fertilizer (half of recommended amount) quarterly 3. Do not expose to direct, intense sunlight (too close to south-west window) 4. Best to keep in tighter pot 5. Water through well, Then allow the soil to dry all the way through before watering again. Hope this helps. Don't get discouraged. We learn when we fail 😀 Green Luck! 🌱

These guys can be very happy by the window without any direct sun. Yes, to keeping leaves clean! Better use cotton swaps deeper in rubbing alcohol to remove all visible bugs, then LIGHTLY spray plants with Neem Oil. Repeat once a week until bugs are gone! All other plants + plants that were tested and well after the treatment - use Neem Oil once every 2-3 weeks to keep all bugs away - especially during spring/summer (very active period for all kind of things 😀) Neem O

These guys can thrive without sunlight as long as they are close to the window. Remove all visible bugs with a Q-tip deeper in rubbing alcohol.

Hi May, Yes, you are good to go! Remember to check on potted cuttings often as they need to be watered more frequent at the beginning to help them to adapt to the soil environment after being in water. Green Luck and Thank you for watching ! 🌱

[@mayxubee]

My City Plants Thanks for the advice! I potted them in a terracotta pot, kept outside in the shade. It’s summer time now... what would be an appropriate watering schedule?

[@Mycityplants]

The watering frequency will change and plants need to be watered more during warm seasons. The best is to check your plants twice a week to help you to understand how fast the soil is drying out. Once you understand the watering needs,, you can adjust testing the soil frequency.. Green Luck! 🌱

[@muskasafi7123]

This is a very long wait for roots to come u just need to make small cuttings straight to the soil water well and keep the soil moist for at least 2 weeks and u have it try and u will never look back

[@Mycityplants]

Thank you for the tips. 🌱 Yes, propagating in soil is another way to go. I personally prefer to pot plants (that can be propagated in water) into soil when they have some developed roots. Keeping soil evenly moist (while new roots develop) can be tricky and risk of overwatering is higher in this case 😀

The leaves dont like water near them .. makes them brown

[@Mycityplants]

Hello and thank you for your very valuable tip! Green Cheers!

[@mellyconnors4266]

I absolutely love your video's you are so detailed and calming to watch. You have taught me a lot. But aside note you need a new videographer.

[@Mycityplants]

Hi Melly, 😀 Thank you for watching 🌱

[@graceatbaker]

@@Mycityplants I second the new videographer. I got dizzy with all the long stretches of blurry parts, and I didn't see the details you wanted to point out.

[@kendiamond85]

Stretching towards the light is called phototropism

[@Mycityplants]

Hi Ken, This is correct! Thank you for watching 🌱

[@Safety3Nation29]

Wait a minute!!!! Where is the soil, the humus???? The plant only lives with water and rock????

[@no.one.two.]

Yes, this substrate already contains some fertilizer. You will have to fertilize on a more regular basis in (semi-)hydroponics or use a slow-release product

[@Mycityplants]

@no one Thank you for sharing your tips 🌱

Hi! Potting Mix mycityplants.com/collections/potting-mix/products/indoor-potting-mix Thank you for watching! 🌱

[@demifrancoeur3869]

My plant is so huge bigger than yours but I feel bad pruning it 😫

[@Mycityplants]

Hi Demi, If you have plenty of room for your plant, you don't have to prune it much. Just a little bit to to keep the plant in a fuller (on top) shape. Thank you for watching 🌱

[@samuilc8000]

This plant gets rooted so easily, you can just skip the water part and go straight to soil.

[@Mycityplants]

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Yes, you may propagate Tradescantia plants in soil. I prefer the water propagation method so I can see how the roots are developing:) Green Cheers!

Look at daat snake plant... 😮 👀💨

Thank you! 🌱🌱🌱

I want to start a nanock pot. Who's willing to give away a short cutting?

[@Mycityplants]

Hi! Great idea! Love these plants! Green Luck! 🌱

[@michiehuynh]

Great info, I loved it. But you need a better camera handler. It’s hard to tell what you’re doing when it’s zoomed in since it was so blurry. And it was very shaky.

[@Mycityplants]

Hi Michelle, Will try to do better. 😀 Let me know if you have any questions, since not everything was clear enough to see. Thank you for watching! 🌱

[@margaretlavender9647]

AND - stop the darned ‘music’. Cannot hear always.

[@Mycityplants]

There is an option to turn the sound off and turn the subtitles on 😃

[@jenp2285]

I thought it was a great video. No complaints here!

[@Mycityplants]

Thank you 🌱

[@jaynewilkinson4447]

Why can't they just be put straight in soul rather than in water?

[@Mycityplants]

Hi! Yes, you can. Here is how: bit.ly/3EclgvY I prefer the water method for our Tradescantia plants as I love seeing new roots growing + gives me the opportunity to make sure new roots are strong and healthy! Green Cheers!

[@FBIagent22-q1d]

I love this video, but this is not practical for people on a budget. Lechuza Pon alone is expensive, not to mention the pots. I thought you would show a more practical way for these plants but thanks. Your video is beautiful.

[@Mycityplants]

Hi, Thank you for watching and your feedback. I think, when it comes to pruning, propagating, dividing, trimming, fertilizing, cleaning, dealing with pests, etc., it does not matter in which pots plants are growing. It just happens that all my plants are potted in Lechuza planters, most in soil BTW not PON 😀

[@stevenbatty4525]

Sack your camera operator! Great information, terrible imagery; most of the time it’s too close, and out of focus!

[@Mycityplants]

:))) I know not the best work...... Thank you for watching it anyway 💚

[@josiahmikaellizardo5274]

My nanouk is about to die😭

[@carlamurillo1918]

Love the video. Strongly dislike the camera person. My eyes hurt from soo much blurry and bad timing on zooming in and out 😞

[@Mycityplants]

:)

[@karlairenefrancodelafuente8619]

porque insisten en poner una planta, dónde la pobre hace esfuerzo por crecer, cuando sus requerimientos son otros, necesita de sol brillante, no directo

[@margaretlavender9647]

NO. It’s a succulent! Never water with a watering can type on the top. They are NEVER ‘really need the water’.

[@Mycityplants]

Tradescantia is not a succulent! 🌱

[@margaretlavender9647]

@@Mycityplants So sorry. I meant it is ‘like a succulent”, because of its thick stems.

[@margaretlavender9647]

@@Mycityplants And mine has grown by about 6 inches since I posted the above.!! It is in west facing bathroom windowsill.

[@Mycityplants]

Awesome, right? 🌱

[@PlayToTheBackRow]

Don't think that's a true Nanouk. Looks like a 'Bubblegum' or plain variegated tradescantia.

[@Mycityplants]

It is. Just looks pale as it grows in a low light space 😀

[@Mileypit]

Not a fan of this camera work 😅
