Does a wandering Jew need direct sunlight?
It sounds as though your Wandering Jew (Zebrina pendula) is not receiving enough light. They perform best in very bright, indirect light. An eastern exposure, where they receive bright morning sun, is ideal.
How often should you water a Wandering Jew plant?
Treat aphids.
New growth on Wandering Jew plants often attracts tiny green insects called aphids. They’re usually found near stems. One effective treatment is pinching off or pruning the affected stems and heavily misting the remaining plant with water.
How many times a week should I water a wandering Jew?
The wandering Jew’s soil should be partially dried out between waterings. Totally dry soil is damaging, as is very wet soil. The Old Farmer’s Almanac recommends cutting back on watering during the winter months when the plant enters dormancy. Twice-monthly spring and summer additions of fertilizer are recommended.
Why Is My Wandering Jew dying?
If you have a wandering Jew losing color, it’s likely due to lack of light. If the plant isn’t getting enough sunlight, the leaves will fade, and it will stop producing blossoms. Relocate the plant to an area with more light.
