Wandering Jews in Baggie Terrariums



For the past couple of weeks, we've been learning as much as we can about the house plant called the Wandering Jew. We got cuttings of the plant on our trip to the green houses at C. O. D. We put them in plastic baggy terrariums. Today we opened some of them up because they were too wet or growing too tall. Here's what we've found out about Wandering Jew plants. They are tropical tender perennials which means they like warm climates and grow over a period of several years. It grows between 36 and 48 inches tall. It doesn't have seeds. It is a popular house plant. It can be found outdoors in eastern Mexico and South America. They need 24 to 36 inches between them to grow the best. It is related to the spider plant. The leaves can be 2 inches long. Make sure you don't over water them. It is also known as an inch plant. It prefers a combination of sunlight and shade. It likes humid environments. It will turn white when it's all done growing.
