rate my tradescantia nanouk
my friend gifted me a dying tradescantia nanouk so i propagated the last two healthy branches and it is doing pretty well! they're growing fast and constantly unfurling new leaves. the tall one was getting too tall so i'm propagating again. i'm a little worried about the brown tears in the short one, it's still growing well but i don't know if there's something i'm doing that's causing leaf tears or if that's unavoidable or if that's not a concern
my window gets no sunlight so i give it 8-12 hours of lamp light. i used to give it a grow lamp light in college and it barely grew but as soon as i gave it regular old desk lamp light it started sprouting new leaves like crazy??
i'm posting here bc i'm not sure if this is what a healthy nanouk is supposed to look like. i think it looks healthy, but the ones i see on the internet are even bushier so idk if i'm doing something wrong lol any advice on caring for this plant appreciated!!
