I hear tradescantia are easy to prop, so I figured I’d give it a try. I have perlite, fluval, soil, and of course water on hand. Does anyone have a rec for the best method for this little one?
I love using aquarium stratum. Have several types of tradescantia propping in it right now!

Use about 1/4 perlite, 3/4 soil and remove the bottom leaf, poke it down until the lowest leaf is touching the soil, then water it while avoiding the leaves. You can water prop these too but it’s easier to stick them straight in soil. Your zebrina looks like it could be violet hill if you were interested 🙂

my grocery store floor tradescantia has been shooting up new growths all week I just cut it into single nodes and jammed them in soil I don’t even think I used rooting powder or anything. Genuinely shocked as they have colonized their little cup in the time my scindapsus cuttings have grown a single one inch root lol

I popped one and the same pot I was growing a pothos in. I think it’s already growing faster than the pothos 😂

They make nice ground cover. When they grown over their boundaries I just use scissors to cut them back to where i want and often toss the under bushes to grow. aMuch harder for weeds to grow when these are fully covering the ground. I live in S Fl

I found a piece like that a few years ago and now it’s taking over my life

Personally I take a super shallow dish, strip the bottom leaves and just submerge it only not the leaves and in a couple days, boom roots! That easy! I proplift tons of these
