Growing new roots takes a lot of oxygen. Make sure you change the water every day or so.
Personally im propagating all kind of varieties of tradescantia and they start showing roots in about a week, what i do is just put them in water in a sunny spot and wait, if you have other propagations that have made roots you can put a bit of that water in the water for the new propagations since its full of rooting hormones from the other plant
Just be patient!! I was about to toss some begonia leaf cutting props bc it has been what feels like months and they FINALLY now have little roots!! Also didn’t help that it was mid winter.
I’ve never propped tradescantia in water but in soil Ive had them grow roots within a week!
Try adding water, not a full water change. I’ve also noticed more luck in smaller containers. I have to top up my pistachio cutting twice a day but the roots have started after two weeks!
If you happen to have any Pothos at all, throw a snipping of it in with them. Pothos let off a wild amount of rooting hormone in water that helps other cuttings root. Other than that, just time, and occasional water changes (weekly-biweekly). You’ve got this little wandering dude plants!!! We’re rooting for you to root for your pant parent!!
I initially put mine in a shot glass of water. I just potted it in some soil and noticed it had new leaves. Maybe try putting it in soil.
I’ve had cuttings in water for a month. They’ve just started growing roots. Patience is the name of the game
Also, there’s alot of leaves and stem. The experts here might know, but isn’t it better to have less so the plant isn’t throwing energy into saving the leaves??
Wandering dude? Hahahahaha never heard that, love it
