In this video I take you through everything I've done to care for my alocasia jacklyn aka alocasia sulawesi sp and how I managed to get it out of the one leaf club! I struggled with this plant for a really long time, but after a year of owning the alocaisa jacklyn now, i think I've finally managed to figure it out and get to know what it likes, and what it doesn't like. I hope these tips and trick help for this houseplant, and do let me know in the comments if you've got any questions!

Every time my zebrina behaves like that I just trim the leggy start, cut off the roots, and soil prop. Sooo easy, they grow roots so well in the dirt. I’ve never even considered water propping them 😂

[@carolynconway3893]

"Oh hi! You caught me liking at KZbin videos on the Internet" 😂😂😂

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

The room looks great! A piece of unsolicited advice: you might want to raise the mattress unto a slatted frame so air can circulate underneath. Otherwise you run a high risk of getting mold.

[@robyncopp3854]

My mattress was on the ground for over 15 yrs and it was totally fine.

[@shellym79]

Really? 😮 I have mine on the floor I never even thought about this. I'll have to check under it. 😬

[@eja5799]

... not to mention certain invertebrates that travel across the floor.

[@larab5214]

I have a futon mattress on the floor and just have a tatami matt under it. It's very humid here in summer and I've had no issues. (I've had this set up for about 4 years now,)

[@pudik2008]

Those 2 Tradescantia are 2 different types,I had both types growing next to each other outdoors in the ground,yes they love light! I did also learn that the growers use a chemical that makes the internodes grow closer together,but wears out in about 6 months and then grows leggy, I don’t know?? Undeniably they are so pretty! 💚🪴

[@Planty-Mandy]

That is absolutely brilliant! You built a love loft! ❤ For the tradescantia in the future, it props super easy in soil so anytime mine are getting leggy I just chop them and stick the pieces back into the pot. That way you can keep it nice and thick. It tends to get very scraggly without doing this every once in a while.

[@MT-sm5nk]

What soil do you use? Mine props like a dream in water, but whenever I stick a cutting in soil without any roots, it's dead within a day.

[@Planty-Mandy]

@@MT-sm5nk just standard potting mix with added perlite. You may not be giving them enough light?

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

I think Ross should start a DIY channel. Like a giant bunk-bed that, in effect, makes a whole second floor? That is the type of diy inspo I crave.

[@natashiabahnhansen6733]

I was given a Zebrina that was almost all purple, just like Ross's is looking like now, but since I grew it, it turned striby. Mine came from a pretty dark place, and I grow it in a west faced window, so I am convinced thatit comes down to the amount of light. 😊

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

The Zebrina turns purple depending on a few factors. Light, water, and nutrition. Tradescantia Zebrina. Also known as Purple inch plant the in the US, or Silver inch plant in the UK, develops purple backs to the leaves depending on how much light the plant develops. However, depending on their dryness or nutrition level, the plant can develop purple fronts as well. In that zebrinas case, it looks quite dehydrated, which is why the front has turned purple instead of only the back. I mean, it could just be stress from moving, but from my understanding of growing this plant, it may be one of those three.

[@bobbie7761]

yes i agree, i have one in more shaded spot and it’s more purple but the one in a brighter spot has much more silver with it.

[@prudencezappa8598]

Mine was getting to much light and leaves had a bleached looking color

[@amh0013]

100% agree here but also… just hack those old roots off and water root it with the rest it grows like a weed so you’ll have roots in no time!

[@jaavis1781]

I love how proud Ross seems to be about his new corner 🤩 it's a beautiful, inspiring spot ❤

[@jamieschriver4813]

That bunk bed is amazing!! Such a great idea!!

[@andyx6827]

I love Ross's rainbow cup :) It actually made my day ❤

[@rebeccascotland7339]

You guys are soooo cute!

[@DustyRose65]

I like the loft you created.

[@DominikaSkrzynska-uk8hs]

Zebrina turns pink when it grows in direct light. It's like plant "tan". It propagates very easily in soil.

[@jackwinter1385]

There are great possibilities to hang plants on the construction of the bed

[@mikeami68]

....and climbers up the suspension polls.

[@tesstropicals]

Claire!!!!!! This is GORGEOUS!!! You and Ross did so well! 👏🏻❤ Enjoy the transition! I moved in with my partner in April after nearly 12 years of single motherhood! it’s a lot to navigate, mentally! Love!

[@OMM-kl1zu]

Ross really is a natural with plants. His Calathea Ornata is just gorgeous. What is his secret??? Love how you created more space in the bedroom. Looks amazing!!!! Both of you are very clever. Great video!!! 💗💗💗

[@annemariekoppelaar-passiev5771]

I have tradescantia in different parts of the house, they’re all cuttings coming from the same plant. The lighting makes them change colour: ‘too much’ light makes them more purple, just right it turns silver and too little it turns greenish. They grow on the jungle floor and normally root at the points where the stem makes an angle. When they can’t root they start to shed leaves at the top to save energy. Just take cuttings and pop them in at the top or circle your plant on top of the soil and pin it down so it can root naturally.

[@ceesaqueen]

You have a Tradescantia Zebrina, Ross has a Tradescantia Purple Passion. They're very similar but the Zebrina gives off silver toned whereas the Purple Passion flushes various shades of purple.

[@pennyred6195]

Yoli cant lie on the bed anymore.... but thats amazing, the transformation I mean, well done.

[@luckystarbaby_]

Oooooo! Amazing!!! Looks so cozy and look at all that space for activities 😁 Should totally get smart light bulbs for the bed loft, could set the mood for movies and other activities 😏😂💚💚

[@finefoliage]

I'm so happy for you!! Ross is lovely and that mezzanine floor is brilliant!!!! What a fab space!!! 🥰

[@heherttu]

About the Tradescantia. It is caused by the amount of light the plant gets I believe.

[@hoosiergirl4960]

My zebrina tradscantia turned purple because it is in full sun in a south facing window. From what I’ve researched, it’s actually sunburned! The ones I have in other rooms are not that way…. She keeps growing though, just fine so I just keep enjoying my purple plant!

[@Brittany_B]

Yay! It looks so great! I love everything about it and I really love the light projecting onto the ceiling above the bed! I don't know if in real life it does this, but it looks like it would really "lift" the ceiling and make it not feel so enclosed. Love it!! The color change on the tradescantia zebrina is from more sunlight. When mine goes outside for the summer, it entirely turns that color...and eventually blooms the most adorable pinky purple flowers (they only last for a day so enjoy them but often times you'll get repeat blooms from the same spot...new bloom each day but from the same spot, if that makes sense). The leaf drop could be from the move but they'll do it with time anyway. The best way to keep them looking good is to occasionally chop and prop to get rid of the leggy spots where leaves dropped.

[@musanyathi2298]

The bright red Zebrina is due to sun stress. Ross's plant might have been in full sun. I have three Zebrinas that look like different varieties because of different light and temperature situations. The more silver in the leaves, the more ideal the conditions.

[@newleafvibes]

I love the mezzanine! How cosy!

[@Kaylee_4740]

Love this video! I am always looking for inspiration on how to cohabitate with my 450 plants 😁

[@Yoliplanting]

He is so adorable and your space has turned out beautifully!!! Wishing you both much happiness together and in your lovely room❤❤

[@joscreen3252]

You could definitely propagate the tradescantia in the same pot as the established plant. They root quite easily

[@saprossarx]

Agreed! Tradescantia roots so easy, a straight node in dirt, some water and not too much sunlight, and they're happy. 💗

[@pjuk]

Turned out great Claire and Ross, well done looking good. Loving the star projector to make it all cosy up there, one of my favourite tech purchases too! Just don't sit up quickly in bed!

[@HolidayGlow]

The colour on the tradescantia is just due to the differences in sun. It gets super pink in one room in my place and super stripey in another. They can get very leggy, so I just tip prop them every so often to keep them cute and shrubby.

[@clarkeyoung963]

Hi Claire love the room looking fab and Ross seems really lovely funny crazy if you get what I am saying it’s so nice you Shair the same interest with the plants hope to see more updates with the development of the room great so far. All you need now is get a nice new dog bed and that would finish the room of nicely.

[@matthew731]

Very cute couple - love your show! Did I spy a Purple matress? I have one and love it! Their pillows rawk as well!

[@chelsirose3335]

The purple tradescantias that I have seen have always been kept in lower light places, so I reckon it's something to do with that.

[@larab5214]

Please buy a floor fan now! Im worried youre going to melt up there next summer.... But its always amazing what air circulation can do!

[@Highlander-qf8ho]

He’s one lucky man😂

[@sallyfisher7389]

I'm so excited for you both! the new loft is looking so great Claire 👏

[@home-space]

Great idea to increase space. and basically creates a new room May not work so well in my country as we have earthquakes, so it would need bracing. and bolting to wall probably. My Zebrina also went purple, but I think it does that when it is stressed and dried out, and perhaps the lighting wasn't idea. They grow as weeds in my country NZ, so very easy to grow.

[@unclepaulsnursery8962]

hey, the reason it went all purple is from bright light. In the winter here in New England in the U.S. when mine is inside it gets lower light and gets the silver stripes. In the summer when I put it outside into bright direct sun it goes all purple.

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

Very nice,cozy and new room!🤩 💚🌱🌵☘️💚

[@eyleentorresdiaz]

Lack of light. They like bright bright light

[@zuzia7628]

This is absolutely amazing change! You have made it! Congratulations! Tradescantia zebrina has different cultivars, so I would say you have two different ones. Pink Paradise for example is more purple.

[@Carey.S75]

Regarding the zebrina, there is a variety called Purple Joy. That could be what Ross's is. There is another purple variety called Purple Heart (I believe). You should both be so, so proud of what you have achieved in the bedroom, it looks absolutely amazing. I love the cozy mezzanine nest 😍😍😍

[@lc9215]

That looks fantastic!! Nice job!❤

[@nicolemickle1851]

Great job you guys!!! Looks amazing!

[@atlantistoni]

Thr purple tradescantia is definitely sunstressed.

[@chelleybellee2012]

U two r so cute!!!! ❤❤❤ love new bed! Space looks amazing 😊

[@melissadarnall399]

Hi, my name is Claire and I am so happy, I am glowing 😂❤❤❤

[@yd8569]

Did we just get a co host on the jungle haven 😂❤ new bedroom is so cosy and lovely!!

[@robynross8524]

how exciting!!!! I just loved you already! congratulations! What an adorable space you created!

[@PlantyMessyHypsie]

You built a loft! I’m impressed. Ross is so funny. He reminds me of Dick Van Dyke, which makes you MTM?! Oh and his plant shelf is a great little separation wall. I would have picked white but black looks so much better. Congrats to you guys!

[@sophiebaldwin191]

You both must be thrilled with the set up Claire. Looks brilliant. Hope Jolie is not missing your bed too much!

[@emiliekuhlman-furrer3410]

O wow, I’m so impressed! It looks fantastic!!!!

[@robyncopp3854]

Omg.... Ross is a riot!!!

[@theannoyingsidekick]

Honestly I have a Zebrina that started from a single stem cutting, rooted it in water initially, but from there I’ve just been cutting it gradually and just plotting it the same pot to soil propagate it.. just poke a hole with chop stick and in you go .. it’s been working fine

[@natashaoreilly7072]

Awww congratulations to the both of you on your new journey together 🤍 I love your room makeover! What a great way to make some new space 😍

[@rachelcote7392]

Wow!! Beautiful room and a VERY neet product you managed to find😊

[@lindaedwards4632]

When you repot Ross’s existing zebrina, you can just use a chopstick and make holes to pop in the unrooted stems they will be fine. Your sky projection over your bed is incredible 💕 Your platform bed certainly gave you a huge increase in space, love it 😀🇨🇦

[@justanotherfaceinthecrowd]

Good way of utilising the space it’s Going to be very warm up there in summer though

[@CLC616]

Congrats!!! 🎊🎉🍾

[@jennifert4189]

That's an awesome use of space. Wish I had taller ceilings our beds take up so much room lol. Well done! It all looks amazing 👏

[@lindaleef]

Share where you got that amazing galaxy maker night light thingy! Love it! I have glow in the dark stars all over my ceiling and this added would be awesome! Thanks!

[@lindaleef]

You created a loft! How cool is that!? Wow! Makes me wish for higher ceilings so I could do it! Good job guys! Been looking forward to the reveal! Bravo! (Spanish attaboy for your Spanish loft! Wink wink)

[@FlexiSpot]

Definitely love your setup Hope our desk matches you well

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you so much - we LOVE it! 💚

[@kaywish9266]

I believe it has to do with ph. My tradescantia would turn purple when I would forget to change my water filter which would result in very acidic water in the reservoir

[@janamartinkova4323]

Aww Claire, you are my new friend.😅☺️ Hello, I love listening to you and I love plants. Thank you for your videos 🙏❤

[@kimmykat6887]

What a great idea! The bedroom looks great! 💚💚

[@AudreyArdenBeauty]

What a beautiful transformation! Great job!!! Yall created a whole loft!! This is such a clever way to create space. I now have to measure my ceilings to see if i can do this! I don't even have anyone moving in but i want it anyway 😂😂

[@dymb7232]

Wow! Looks FANTASTIC!

[@juliehollandblubookkeeping8027]

Looks amazing. Love that flooring idea, genius. You can pot TZ straight into soil. Thats what I do, cut and pop in same pot to get it bushier. Im also in agreement that the dark colour came from lack of light.

[@thesoapfairy638]

So happy for you both

[@lilysdimension]

You guys are so cute!!

[@GreenWitch1]

He seems fun 😊

[@barbasfear16]

I just can't imagine having to climb down a ladder in the night to use the bathroom.

[@thedreamingbun5998]

😂 that shot of you drinking coffee made my morning

[@jeaniejean8200]

Your new loft bed area is fantastic! Great way to make space. We have done that in one of our rooms, (built it right in though), and it's a game changer for sure...

[@ponak21]

Very beautiful!!!!!!!Good start 👏👏👏

[@aliciafair-manson2870]

So happy for you!!

[@finnster6582]

What a Great Idea!

[@lunascoloringcorner8784]

This was so cute!!!! The room looks fantastic 😍 👌 👏

[@Anil18834]

Claire, congratulations to you and Ross on this new stage. I send you my best wishes for you both to support each other and grow together in love.

[@ObedCEsquivel]

So cute!! Congrats guys! Wishing you lots of happy memories in your new phase and space. 🌱 👓

[@virginiamartinez391]

Looks great 👍🏼😃

[@hpb19]

You and Ross have put a lot of work into your space and it looks amazing! Congratulations on all of your success.

[@kristarepp2607]

Looks great! And Ross’s plant shelf looks fantastic!

[@jullsneska9323]

Great job, it looks magical! 😍🙌

[@blueneonbubble]

This makes me so happy 🥰. The room looks amazing!

[@buildyourjungle]

The room looks so good, what a great space-saving idea! :)

[@StarbeansBari]

That looks incredible!! What a great idea!!!

[@perkyplants]

Oh wow Claire! This space looks amazing 😍

[@chanialb]

This plant just needs more often watering than most philos and most of my plants. Mine looses leaves all the time. . You can just chop and prop or bury the nodes...

[@carladurbin5706]

Love this!!!!

[@usernotfound4128]

Omg I love your space!! Can’t wait to see what’s next!!! ❤🪴❤️

[@Colourmestressfree]

I love the bedroom! Such an amazing use of the space but you two are just adorable 😊❤

[@caro4486]

Just wow! What a genius and stunning transformation! 😮 And congrats to moving together, have a nice time! :)

[@milalacerrano2217]

I am so happy to see Ross finally moved in. Hope your new journey brings you closer and stronger to each other. Now I want to go and rebuild my bedroom to have a plant room as well.

[@richardjenkins9417]

Wow, im definitely doing this, hats off! ❤

[@javardh]

looks cozy ✨️ 🌌

[@zandrawostel5868]

I love what you've done with the space. The upper level is so ingenious.

[@MixofXaos]

Tradescantia - i plant them in long rectangular pots and very close to one another. I do trim them to get that bushy appearance and to avoid leggy stems and brown leaves. Propagating in soil directly to the same pot. My tradescantias are giants 😂. On direct light they become more vibrant in color. I do like them dark purple so indirect light.
