Years ago, gardeners would share cuttings from their wandering jew with neighbors and friends, and like the Jews from long ago, the wandering jew would travel from place to place. They have picturesque green, heart-shaped leaves with purple stripes and a silvery sheen to them and can be used as both an indoor and outdoor plant making a striking visual in hanging baskets or pots on decks and patios.
Wandering jews require bright, indirect light. If the light is too dim, the leaf markings will fade. Keep the soil slightly moist, but don’t water directly into the crown as this will cause an unsightly rot in your wandering jew. An important part of growing wandering jew plants is pinching back the long, vining tendrils. Pinch back about a fourth of the plant every few months to encourage branching and increase fullness.
