Tradescantia Burgundy Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Wandering Jew, we recommend using a constant feed program of 150-200 ppm N. Maintain a pH between 5.5 - 6.0.

Pinching is recommended 5-10 days after transplantation. A second pinch may be necessary depending on the size and shape of the final pot.

Space pots adequately to allow for light penetration and airflow between foliage of adjacent pots. We recommend 6-8 inches for 4” pots and 18-24 inches for 10” pots.

Pinching is the best way to control height. An initial pinch is recommended, but additional pinching may be necessary to shape your final product.

Spider mites are the primary pests attracted to Wandering Jew.

Burgundy are not prone to many diseases, but watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.

1. We recommend planting 6-8 starter plants per 10” basket. Use a well-drained soil in your baskets and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. If you are planting 4” pots, 2-3 plants per pot should be sufficient if you have enough time. If using three starters, plant them in a triangle in the middle of your pot.
2. Pinching is recommended 5-10 days after transplantation. A second pinch may be necessary depending on the size and shape of the final pot.
