Indoor plant care - wandering jew?

Question:

Answers:
Wandering Jews lose their youthful vigor if they are not given lots of sun and pruned regularly. Proper watering is also important, of course, but dry air is not a problem.

Keeping this plant right in a sunny window is important, especially in winter when the hours of daylight are much shorter.

Long stems pull more and more on the roots as the stems get longer. Eventually, the stems start to lose leaves closest to the soil and after a while you end up with long, bare strings with a few leaves at the ends. To prevent this, it is best to prune one or two of the longest stems each month by cutting them off about two inches above the soil. New growth on a cut stem will emerge just below where you made the pruning cut or close to the soil where the plant starts to get bare. The cuttings can be rooted in water.

By doing this pruning regularly, you constantly recycle the plant by eliminating very long stems and stimulating newer, shorter stems. This will keep the plant vigorous, full, and compact.
