Yes. I’d put it in damp soil or in water. They’re very hardy. It’s almost harder to kill them.
Yes. There’s a node. I like to water prop but they root easily and can be propped in soil.
You have found what is very possible the easiest plant to propagate I have ever dealt with
You can’t not propagate it
Yes! It looks like it’s a tradescantia, there are a lot of varieties out there, but they all are known for rooting very easily in water or soil. Best of luck! 🙂
Easily
honestly it’d probably root in thin air if the room was humid enough
You can propagate it and it can live in water eternally – The Wandering Jew plant.
I found a whole pile of that at my Pettitis Garden Shop yesterday and I’m propagating it! I wish us luck!
I’ve gotten cuttings like this where I laid them on top of a pot of dirt and they grew
Definitely!!!!!
I’ve got a big vase full of those guys. When they start getting leggy I just snip the end off and stick it right back in the water. Will probably pot them soon lol the algae is crazy even though I change the water regualrly
I have ended up with an entire large plant from a single prop this size
Yes, it’s really easy, just leave 4 leaves and a long stem and stick it in soil
Oh yea. I’ve gotten a pretty good sized plant from just a couple of those
Yes, just throw it on the ground in the shade and the rest will work itself out.
I would say yes these plants are indestructible I had some growing on cement with no soil it just kept growing there 😂
It’ll prop itself in damn near whatever.
I have had a few that look like this they grow roots
I’d like to acknowledge that it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who brings home scraps from the ground in the garden center. I mean, SOMEBODY needs to give them a new home, so it might as well be me, right?😌
Yes
Yes, just stick IT unto the Dirt and water on a regular base. You can also propagate Tradescantia on water
I have killed every one of these I’ve ever tried to prop 😩
I’ve been forgetting about my cutting for months. It will. Not. Die.

Absolutely! I found this scraggly piece that was on the floor at Trader Joe’s (clearly had been ran over by a cart). Asked if I could have it. Cut it up & within 10-12 days it had rooted (2nd pic). Last pic on btm R is 5 months later.
Next time I wouldn’t be so lazy and would pot it up a LOT sooner…like within a month tops. I’ve found the roots & overall plants are stronger when grown in media vs. water.
I like to prop in a clear container with some moss or soil so I can see the roots
Enjoy your lifetime supply of wandering dude.
I find that this plant thrives more in our propagation station than it does in a pot
I picked a small half dead piece off the floor of Walmart and it’s now six plants. One in a huge hanging basket.
If you don’t, it will
Yep. Those are super easy to propagate. Grew up with them.
These are so easy and fun to propagate! You can do soil or water. Like a month or two ago i trimmed my wandering gal, and just for fun I put the trimmings in a pot and it’s grown pretty fast, almost everything has leaves and everything i put in there was either bare stems, or little nodes with a single leaf on them.
Absolutely
I picked up a 1 inch piece off of the floor at a garden center last year. I put it in some dirt, and with almost complete neglect, I now have a plant that is 2 feet across and trails 8 or 10 inches down.
In 2 months you’ll be giving it away.
