Plants From My Container Garden 2--WANDERING JEW

Scientific name = Zebrina pendula

This plant is very easy to grow once you “get the hang of it”. It is great for hanging baskets since it will become very full and cascade over the sides.

Problems: I’ve heard it described as having "old man syndrome", where the top of the plant becomes "bald" and growth remains down the sides, just waiting for a "comb over". I found this on Yahoo!Answers. This can be solved be cutting off all the tips. They should be no longer than 5”. Strip off all but 3 or 4 leaves and epot with 2 or 3 in a hole.
