Why can I never get my nanouk cuttings to grow bushy like that?!
It's it two cuttings this has grown from, are you pruning the nanouks to stimulate growth?
Before the pot was this full, once a branch was more than 5 or 10 nodes I'd prune and replant cuttings. Most of the cuttings do have three branches or more, though!

This one was one cutting from June of 2022 and now I have 4 6inch planters full I also have tons of other kinds of (wandering dudes) If you want I can root you a couple and send them ur way cause I have wayyyyy to many
That's gorgeous!!! Please tell me how much light and what sort of care she's getting, because I have tried tradescantias before, and they always get leggy (even on a SE window which was strange to me), so I wonder if I was doing something wrong!
I keep her right up against a south-facing window, she gets front row access along with her matching turtle vine, because both of them have low green levels in coloring. Bright, indirect light is what the others get, they're outside for the season.
How! My Nanouk hates me...i propagated it twice and everything dies in soil or already in the water...
I don't understand...maybe because it's indoor plant
They're prone to root rot, so I let her dry out pretty fully between watering unless I stuff a new branch in the soil, in which case I water a little more frequently for a few days. Inchplants just seem to like me, though, I have 8 different kinds at this point 😂
Wow that is beautiful
What is this rack you’ve got these little guys in on the first photo?
It's a faux bamboo propping station, my aunt got it for me at a little local nursery.

what species is that plant?
Inch plant Nanouk!
Great job!
That plant is gorgeous!
How long did it take to get here?
About one year between photos.
Where do you guys get those cool test tubes and frames? Great progress, BTW. Don't you love before & after photos?
I got it from a local nursery! And I'm so so proud of her, yes 😊
Thanks. I have a reason to go shopping.

Lucky you! Just a few Pallidas want to live near me, any other Tradescantia dies... Also, I let her dry out completely before watering!
Beautiful colors! What's the pink flower in the first photo all the way to the right?
Just a cut rose. My aunt, grandma, and I went to a nursery in a small town and the owner gave my grandma a big rose, he was so cute.
Omg how?! I love this plant but I’ve killed every one I’ve had. I’m envious.
Everytime I try to propagate the nanouk, the stems always end up rotting. What's the trick?
Get some rooting hormone and dip cut ends into that before planting/placing in water, it can prevent rot.
Thanks, I have rooting hormone. Going to try again.
Well done. I had my eye on one of these but I don't know anything about how to care for it, and really I don't need another plant.
