This is the easiest houseplant to propagate in my collection – and it can be done in just 3 simple steps

How to propagate a tradescantia from cuttings.

One of the best plant purchases I've made was a Tradescantia albiflora 'Nanouk' because it's one of the most low-maintenance indoor plants I've ever cared for. In fact, the combination of it's easy nature and unique, bright foliage led me to also purchasing a Tradescantia zebrina.

My favorite thing about growing tradescantia plants is that they're one of the easiest houseplants to grow from cuttings. I noticed that my tradescantias would just keep on growing and their stems were doubling in length every few days, explaining the Tradescantia zebrina's common name of inch plant in reference to its fast-growing nature. I decided to take some cuttings to propagate and it was so simple to do that ever since I haven't stopped propagating my tradescantias to gift to friends and family.
