How do you care for a wandering Jew plant?

Answer by  playmynrd (225)

My Wondering Jew plant is outside and gets afternoon and evening sun. I water it every day enough to keep it moist. The plant will grow as a long stem with sparse leaves. Pruning the plant or removing new leaves will help make the plant bush out.

You don't, really. They are incredibly resilient and will thrive with weed-like persistence anywhere humidity and shade is present. Just place a stem underneath a tree andwatch it grow.

Keep the plant in a sunny area, and make sure the plant stays moist without drying out. Prune often, to promote a bushier plant.

Place the plant in direct sunlight and prune ends regularly to promote growth. Keep plant watered and the soil moist. Because they like humidity a misting is a good idea.

First plant them in some hanging baskets, or in the outer window so the branches can trail down. Best place is east or south. Give them a lot of sunlight, warm temperatures and good humidity. Place a saucer full of water beneath the plant and keep the potting mix moist.
