Pros

  • Dude goals! Its gorgeous!
  • Looks like a tradescantia nanouk! Also known as a wandering dude 😊
  • i give mine lots of light, water when a bamboo stick (i stick it through the soil multiple times) comes up clean, and i prune it regularly! i don’t worry about humidity and i always water from the bottom. i’ve learned that nanouks hate g...
  • you won’t kill it, because it has the greatest will to live ever. I’m sitting here right now taking a break from potting up 100 nanouk cuttings for the 100th time (from one single mama plant) because it grows fast, hard, and long.
  • Tradescantia nanouk. They're actually kinda easy to care for once you think about where they'd grow naturally.

Cons

  • Parent context: I’ve killed 4 of them. Smh. Tried to propagate, didn’t work either. That dude just doesn’t like me Reply: I’ve killed 4 of them. Smh. Tried to propagate, didn’t work either. That dude just doesn’t like me
  • When mine died I was kind of relieved.
  • I'm about to give mine away. No matter how many haircuts I give it, where I put it, and how I treat it, it ends up sprawling and crispy again soon.
  • I have one too! I'm in love with the colors, but yeah I hate the way they get leggy. I keep mine more bushy.
  • My son gave me this plant for my birthday. Of course I love it. But I have noticed that it has lost its vibrancy. The gorgeous purples and pinks have faded.

i give mine lots of light, water when a bamboo stick (i stick it through the soil multiple times) comes up clean, and i prune it regularly! i don’t worry about humidity and i always water from the bottom. i’ve learned that nanouks hate getting their leaves wet and it will result in brown spots!
