Wandering Jew Care Guide

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Avoid too much shade, as it may lead to leggy growth.

Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be cautious of overwatering to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. If placed in a bioactive environment, the natural humidity of the terrarium will be ideal.

Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring to summer). Reduce feeding in winter.

Pruning: Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to encourage bushier growth.

Notes for Bioactive Environments: Wandering Jew makes a great addition to terrariums due to its trailing vines and air-purifying properties. Be sure to provide space for its growth and monitor humidity levels in your bioactive setup.

With proper care, the Wandering Jew will thrive, bringing vibrant color and beauty to your indoor spaces.
