Tradescantia Zebrina ~ Wandering Jew Plant ~


 
This purple Wandering Jew (Tradescantia Zebrina) plant belonged to my mom . . . it (and many of her plants) hadn't been watered in months. It's now here in my home and after a few months of special care, it's finally coming back . . .  it's as healthy as I remember it when mom had it hanging in her patio. Mom and I both have always had Wandering Jews in our homes, they are such a neat plant and hardy ones too! I know she would be happy that her plants are doing very well.

  2. Cousin, Marion ~ it just runs in the family . . . a family plant! I have one of mom's Grape Ivy plants from about 15-18 years ago. It was so beautiful and I always wanted it . . . one day, she gave it to me and I have had it and kept it alive ever since! I did start another plant from a clipping . . . I will have to post about that one! Love you, Cuz . . . Bussi's ~ Ginimaus

  5. Same here, Carol, I had several of these plants in the seventies! Mom had a green thumb, and many of her plants are many years old . . . now if I can just keep them going!
