My grandparents who live in Florida told me that they saw rhoeos in a field where they live they brought a few home planted them in their zone 9 garden and they have spread like mad, they actually pull some of them out because they just get weedy after some time where they live, and they sent me some about a year ago and they grow so well. Such nice plants, hard to kill I must say:) great video as always.
Hi Jeff! I bought one of these a while back and love it! The colors are so pretty, and my favorites! I still need to repot it and I'm glad you mentioned using cactus/succulent mix. Great video! TFS!
Your New Ideas w/New Tropical Plants is Awesome!. Thank u. We are use to the normal house plants. Plants like these, will give us more color an Life to our home. Plz add any more u think would be good in CA. Zone area. Ty.
Thanks for the video, I've been having problems for awhile with mine and clearly I've been over watering. In the beginning they were growing great with a daily mist, but I think they probably only need one watering a month in the winter and even 2 weeks apart in summer in my house.
Hi Sherry! It is finally cooling off here and i'm actually enjoying the garden again! I know it's almost august, but there is still so much left i want to do out here! How are things in your neck-of-the-woods? XoXo- Jeff
I bought this gorgeous plant only two days ago at $3.00 ($1.50 US) now I know how to take care of her. Enjoying your channel as always. Subbing from Barbados
I got one from the supermarket but didn't tell u what plant it was. Glad I've finally found what it is. It is so easy to look after I only water it once a week. May have to propagate it for a friend it's grown loads x
lol! That is quite compliment because i had to voice over this entire video and match the words with my hands... my mic didn't behave when recording apparently!
Hello, my plant is doing really well inside the house. I have mine in the indirect light and water mine through the bottom of the plant. It is thriving and growing like crazy. I also love the shine and it looks like it has glitter on mine. I also love the colors, it is like the color of your plant but mine is still in a 4 inch pot. I have to report mine soon. Thanks for the info and great video. 😁😀🤩🤗
It is so beautiful here! I am spending almost all my time outside. I have most of my Orchids outside and my specialty Roses as well as many other plants I am learning about. 💞
That's great! The weather here is just starting to become tolerable and the plants are going from scorched and dry to green and lush... which is weird because normally august is when the opposite happens. You have roses!? I miss my rose garden, just not enough sun for them anymore as the trees keep growing and shading everything.
I bought this plant from Trader Joe and don't have a name tag, thanks for this video I finally learn the name , I thought it is Dracaena plant at first, anyway, mine is getting dry tip and I think I over water it indoor, so after I watched this video, I think I'm going to repot it and put it outdoor :)
Just got my first one of these, I've always known them as Moses in the Cradle or Boat. But they've been on my wish list a long time & so excited I just ordered online & rec'd two 3inch plants that look very healthy. Will let them settle a few days in my home then replant. Sooo excited (and nervous!) to see these babies grow! Their beauty is stunning! Hope mine grow as well as yours! What do you suggest as far as lighting if they are indoors?? Thanks for info & great video! 🌱💚🌱
lol, i totally forgot i still need to edit that video! Thank you! The audio got messed up on that one, so it's gonna be a doozy to fix! Just realized i have no clue how to spell, "doozy" ...doozey? idk! lol!
Very pretty little plant, thank you for showing us! I'll be looking into how hardy they are in my part of the UK, might possibly have them as a houseplant.
Great yet informative video, my plant has the brown tips, apparently I have been too cautious with the watering, hopefully it will help to improve after my altered my water schedule with it! THX
Tropical Plant Party not sure right off but I can't wait to get back and figure out what I'm going to do. all I know is the whole yard is going to change lol...
I just bought my first Tradescantia spathacea, and It looked good in the store, but when I unpacked it at home I noticed that all of the lower leaves were rotting from the stems outwards. I removed everything mushy and hope that the plant will recover. :(
I'm going to try this plants as a house plant. I heard these plants can take full sun, but I haven't seen one of these without dry tips. I found a lavender variegated rhoeo plant in the indoor section of Wal*Mart Garden. If they do well, I'll try them outside.
They are easy plants to look after. I have mine indirect light, and water every 2 and half weeks. They are very colorful, I have them close to a window and they did not like it at all. I water mine through the bottom and let it sin in there for at least 30 to 45 minutes. And drain the excess water.
Very cool. I just got another one of these. I had the tri color, love it, just got the green and purple and omg amazing , so beautiful!!! Thanks for the info✌💖
@@TropicalPlantParty oh no does that mean they burned up? I just ordered mine from a lady in Florida, on eBay, that's growing them in her yard they are really big and beautiful and leggy, had a check of a time trying to plant them..lol
No i mean nowhere near enough light in my window...the trees have grown a lot and are shading it in the afternoon. May need to move into the grow room and give it artificial light. wow those sound awesome! Hopefully they root quickly for you and take off!
Love the tips and your delivery - you're fabulous! I just brought one home from the garden centre and will have it indoors in my apartment. Any tips for indoor growth? From a new plant lady in Canada! Big love!
Aww, thank you so much! I love your name! "artistwithapassion"... flows nicely! The oyster plants are very easy and forgiving plants as long as they aren't left to stay wet for a long time. Indoors they like bright and sunny locations. For best growth some warmth and humidity can be helpful, so if you have a bright well-lit bathroom, that may be a good location. :)
I may have missed it in the video, but what about lighting. I know they are great ground coverers, is it safe to say they do will with low light. I want to go out to get this soon. Thanks in advanced.
I have one that I bought at Walmart and I stuck in in a large outdoor pit with some wandering Jew and purple sweet potato vines... it’s growing a lot and I want to break off some but I’m not sure exactly how to or if I would be disrupting the growth.
Hey Derrick! They are pretty easy to dig out and root. Just use a sharp and clean knife and try to cut down in the soil around the ones you want to remove and gently lift the ones you cut around up and out of the soil. Then fill that hole back in with some fresh potting soil and transplant the ones you've removed into a pot with well drained potting soil and water them often enough so that the soil doesn't fully out dry out for more than a day or day to encourage new root growth. :)
Sandra99, Mine was getting leggy and the colors were getting so pale. I was told that it wasn’t getting enough light. It was on my desk at work with just the overhead fluorescent lighting. Then I started using a grow light but it just wasn’t doing better. I don’t have a window at work so I brought it home. I live in a city with many three-flat apartment buildings. But the front most room of my place extends to create a nice sunroom. I’ve had this plant in the east-facing window for a couple months and although it took about three weeks to improve it’s much better now. Fuller with richer colors. Good luck!
I just got one of these about 2 weeks ago. I keep it indoors and i noticed a few days ago the tips of the leaves are all turning brown! I know you mentioned this in the video. In my case I suspect the air is too dry in my house. (London UK) Should I cut the brown tips off? Or will they 'heal' on their own? Love your video!
Thank you, Erika! You can cut the brown tips off, but that often just leaves a brown line where the cut was made :/ I usually give the tips awhile to dry up when they have browned and then just snip them off. :)
@@TropicalPlantParty ok, thank you so much!! I'll let the tips dry before removing them. I love this plant so much and really want to make it happy living with me :)
Wow, that's pretty! Off topic - do you own a Fiddle Fig? I've decided I need one as a houseplant because I'm a basic b. 😁 If you have one would love any tips 'n tricks!
LMAO! I do have a Fiddle Fig! And when i bought it i thought exactly what you just said... " im such a basic bitch now!" LOL! I have been planning on doing a video when i repot it, but i cant find a light-weight pot i like for going in my house... all the ones im seeing that i like are way too small. When i find the pot though, i'll do a video for sure. Biggest tips for them are: lots of light, and don't let them stay wet for a long time... they rot easily and are pretty drought tolerant plants. :)
great video but you didn't mention if it is toxic to pets?? im looking for outdoor plants to decorate my pool enclosure and any help would be greatly appreciated, ty
Mine has been leaning over and so I propped it up on a neighbouring pot and it's grown roots into that pot! How do I look after this? Happy for plant babies to happen but I want to give them the best chance. Do I need to cut it and repot it? Or will it take care of itself if I put a fresh pot of soil under the roots?
I have one in a planter doing great but I want to add some in my landscape on the northwest side of my house which gets filtered sun in the evenings. Im a zone 9 in SE Texas. Would they do well??
I have one, at first i placed it outside and it was okay. But when i moved it inside the house, it started rotting and discolored.. Don't know what happened... Was it due to over watering? or no sunshine? uuuurghh.. Heartbreaking.
I bought one a couple weeks ago as an indoor plant and it doesn’t matter how much I water it, the leaves are turning brown and it’s REALLY struggling. And ideas?
mine is struggling it has black and brown leaves that start from the tip so I watered it and the leaves turned yellow so I repotted it and added perlite for better drainage but I don’t know why it’s struggling
I bought one of these plants for my kitchen a couple of weeks ago and she isn't doing so hot. The leaves are becoming super limp and, I don't know how to explain it... Heavy with moisture inside of them? And I haven't over-watered it or anything, the soil is pretty dry. The leaves are just one by one going limp. What did I do wrong? All I did was transfer it from the store-bought pot to one I had at home, and watered it once because the soil was super dry. My thumbs are definitely not green, they are on the opposite side of the color spectrum, I have red thumbs.
Same.... I'm trying to save mine. I live in Canada it's very cold outside but I have it inside where it is warm. I don't know if I over watered it or it needs more humidity but the leaves are starting to droop and go brown on the tips. :(
I live in NC, I just bought an oyster plant like 2 weeks ago. Well I have brown tips and the bottom leaves are like dying off and it looks so bad and I'm so sad. Anyways it's an indoor plant. What can I do to fix it?
It sounds like you might need to water it a bit more. He says in the video that they are drought tolerant but I live in a dry climate and I have one as a houseplant that doesn't like the soil to get more than 50% dry before it wants more water. Something to watch out for.
My grandparents who live in Florida told me that they saw rhoeos in a field where they live they brought a few home planted them in their zone 9 garden and they have spread like mad, they actually pull some of them out because they just get weedy after some time where they live, and they sent me some about a year ago and they grow so well. Such nice plants, hard to kill I must say:) great video as always.

thank you! I will try to do more on plants for your area this spring and summer. :)
Thanks for the video, I've been having problems for awhile with mine and clearly I've been over watering. In the beginning they were growing great with a daily mist, but I think they probably only need one watering a month in the winter and even 2 weeks apart in summer in my house.

We have ours in a hanging planter and it's grown super long tendrils, not a bush shape at all. Seems to be doing pretty well though!
So pretty! The colors are so vibrant!
i love them!
I got one from the supermarket but didn't tell u what plant it was. Glad I've finally found what it is. It is so easy to look after I only water it once a week. May have to propagate it for a friend it's grown loads x
You make it look so easy!!! I'm struggling with mine.
This plant is so beautiful! I don’t have one....YET!! Lol Thank you for the tips and I’m happy to hear that they are easy going!
Such a gorgeous plant! You speak w/your hands very well
lol! That is quite compliment because i had to voice over this entire video and match the words with my hands... my mic didn't behave when recording apparently!
Hello, my plant is doing really well inside the house. I have mine in the indirect light and water mine through the bottom of the plant. It is thriving and growing like crazy. I also love the shine and it looks like it has glitter on mine. I also love the colors, it is like the color of your plant but mine is still in a 4 inch pot. I have to report mine soon. Thanks for the info and great video. 😁😀🤩🤗
Thank you so much! Sounds like your oyster plants are thriving!
@@TropicalPlantParty yes it is thriving and I love the colors. I also like your video. Was very helpful to me. 🤩🤗

Just found one suffering at Lowes had no clue what it was but the color caught my eye. Now to help it flourish. ☺️🤞
Thank you for the information, definitely will follow you for such great tips!
I love the multi coloured leaves! Looking forward to see your planter video with them.

i love the planters that you have.
thank you, Ruhi! I like the bright and tranquil blue tones. :)
same! One was called tacky! I was like girl thats cute!!
Beautiful coming back from Miami with some I can't wait to try these! hopefully they will do good!
Miami!? LUCKY! What are you going to do with them?
Tropical Plant Party not sure right off but I can't wait to get back and figure out what I'm going to do. all I know is the whole yard is going to change lol...
did you get other plants? what'd ya get!?
Oh, they are lovely! We get so much rain here. Otherwise they would be on my shopping list!
They make great house plants though! Maybe not with cats, i feel like they would munch those leaves like crazy. hmmm...
cute little plant , I like the purple in the leaves
me too! They are simple and easy to grow and brighten up the space they are in.

Greetings from Nassau Bahamas. Tradescantia spathacea is growing as a weed in my garden.
I love these and have about 4. Very easy to grow.
they really are great! I love them!
Soo beautiful - Thanks from Denmark
Thank you now i know what to do with my Tricolor. Its so beautiful. Thanks. 🌿🌾🌹🌾🌿
Rhoeos are really pretty.
And simple! What's not to love!
That is gorgeous. I just bought one and wondered what it is.
Love these. Mine isn’t as bright pink as yours. Is it because you have yours outdoors maybe??
maybe, there are different varieties though. If yours is the 'Tri color' then it could just be lighting.
I have one that I bought at Walmart and I stuck in in a large outdoor pit with some wandering Jew and purple sweet potato vines... it’s growing a lot and I want to break off some but I’m not sure exactly how to or if I would be disrupting the growth.

Can we leave it out side during winter time
mine is struggling it has black and brown leaves that start from the tip so I watered it and the leaves turned yellow so I repotted it and added perlite for better drainage but I don’t know why it’s struggling
Indoor plant or Outdoor plant
I have one of these and it's multiplying and I am afraid to separate them. Are they all attached under the soil?
They are all attached under the soil. Normally you can use a sharp knife and cut them apart fairly easily.
I don't know why my plant has its leaves falls, not firm?
what about sun? low/medium light requirements?
His is my question too

Would love to know why and what was the outcome for both of your plants. I dont want to buy one if they are finicky.
Is oyster plant indoor?
Mine lightened in color and has gotten leggy.🤔
I just got one and the leaves are browning on the ends
How much sun if potted indoors?
Hey u didn’t explain how to take care of them indoors.....
