Last year I bought a $1 tradescantia cutting off Etsy. The seller had an issue and didn't send it for a while, so as apology they sent me an entire plant.

I now have a tradescantia SITUATION.

In addition to the main plant (made up of about 10 individual plants), which I repotted and trained up a trellis last night, I have:

6 plants growing in water
and A DOZEN cuttings on the counter, which either broke off during the repotting or were at bad angles for the trellis.

This is only one type of tradescantia. I have three.

Another was a $1-2 cutting which is growing in water and is nearing two feet long, and another was a freebie cutting when I bought another plant and now consists of three foot-long sections and another about half that size that I cut due to a wonky growing angle and lives in water.

If you give those babies a shady spot and enough water they go wild!!
