This guy currently resides on my window sill in NY. Thought it might be Moses in the Cradle, but the leaves look different? I was given this from an old coworker in a cup of water and it took off when I planted it in soil. Looking to ID so I can better care for it. Thanks!
Yup. Agreed with other poster. This one looks like it would greatly benefit from being buried a bit deeper and getting a bit more light. They typically grow nice and more bush like and are very easy to propogate! I've got a couple buds my kid ripped off an older plant that all now have roots.
Not much I can do about the light since this is already the sunniest spot in my apartment, but i just picked up a larger pot and soil so i can give it more space and more depth!
Tradescantia spathacea, Oyster plant, Moses in the cradle
Thanks! I looked up some more pics and found some that look more like this one for sure.
You're welcome!
