I can't seem to keep mine alive!!!! Any tips?

@Cheri92274 When I first bought them, they grew and multiplied like crazy... Winter never seemed to bother them in the past, but this year totally decimated the entire population 😔 I only have 2 or 3 tiny ones left alive, and they aren't looking very healthy either... I'm sorry, I wish I had some advice... if you happen to hear anything useful please let me know!

I almost bought one of these today...probably going to go back just for it tomorrow lol.

@tlbean7 We bought 2 of these (maybe 4" tall) last year & they multiplied into about 30 baby plants since then!

Wow! That's crazy!!

I know I maybe asking alot,but could I plz.😊 get a piece of your lily? I've looked and the plants left here are thinning out and of course r left overs not looking well(which is no prob with love)but no boatlilies..*pouting *

@Acetaker Sure! 😊 Idk if you read the comments above, but we have a surplus of this one at the moment, lol 😀 I don't think it's an actual lily, I know it's in the same family as the wandering jew, but not sure if it grows flowers or not??? I just like its pretty striped foliage (& purple underside!) It's really hard to take a decent photo for some reason 😕 ...but if you still want some, just let me know!

OHH,YES I'D LOVE SOME STILL. I LOVE THE COLORS IT HAS. I PUT MY EMAIL ON THE OTHER PLANT,JUST HALLA😊

First generation, fall 2015

@rainygirl70 Thank you! 😊 although the colors are so much brighter in real life... This is the most un-photogenic plant, LOL! 😁 It's so frustrating, nearly impossible to get a decent pic 😖

Only 3 or 4 months old so far in this photo but already growing like crazy, fall 2015

Tons of new #tradescantia #cuttings

Beautiful colors!

@lovestogarden Thank you! 😁

Take a pic of this now..I'd love to see it. Don't think I know what this is unless it may go by a different name.😊

@Acetaker It does go by several names... I know one others is Moses-in-a-basket, & I've also heard it called a wandering jew (which I knew as a different plant, but I think the nickname may apply to more than one species!) Either way I'll try to get a better photo 😊

@aes239 would it be a Spider plant?😊

@Acetaker The foliage is striped similar to a spider plant, only the underside is purple 😊 & it also doesn't grow lil baby 'spiders' from the ends, unfortunately 😋
