#PurpleHeart Discussion

@SUNSHiNEPLANTS Here’s Gill’s journey.

Leaf tips turning crispy

Full Sun or not

Anyone know what might be causing these holes? They’re not completely open. There’s that clear bit left. Only this leaf has it. Is it a pest? Disease?

I found tiny black specs on this plant as well as on my wandering dude cutting and rooted plants. I sprayed them last night with mint oil as of this morning my cutting, especially with my purple heart are hanging over half dead.

Do I cut it off?

THIS is why you share cuttings with friends and neighbors. I grew this #PurpleHeart #Tradescantia from a single cutting I received almost exactly a year ago. In late July she was full and happy. Unfortunately she is the one plant that didn’t survive my vacation in early August. A few days ago I chopped and propped what was left intending to basically start over. Fast forward to today when I spot this absolute bananas one on my next door neighbor’s porch. To my shock- it’s one I gave her that I propped from my original Purple Heart. I told her how sad mine was and next thing I know she’s letting me chop the baby. So officially starting over but technically still the same plant!!!!🤣🤣

Potting

The edges of all my leaves are turning brown. What's wrong with him?

Curious what kind of light are y'all giving these? 🤔 Esp. if they're indoor plants. I've been growing mine from a cutting & just winging it. Any repot ideas?... she's trailing pretty well; do I just let it keep going? Trim? #happyplants
