wandering jew (zebrina)

I have had wandering jews for many years. I have never had one bloom. However, recently I starting putting cuttings in decorative bottles with water. I have had my wandering jew bloom three times. Why will it bloom in water and not in soil? Needless to say I was very surprised the first time it bloomed.

Funny you should post this, I have just noticed the same thing on my wandering jew, except mine is new cutting planted in soil. They are such tiny little flowers and so cute. I have had wandering jews also for years and never seen one bloom.

Re: wandering jew (zebrina)

no they will bloomin dirt also .. and in water .. was just wondering if you put your cuttings in a different spot then the one that was in the dirt .. it is more of a matter of light .. how much it is getting .. some plants like different spots better .. but wandering jews flower pretty easy ..
