Description

The listing, Wandering Jew Houseplant Collection has ended.

I have been looking for Wandering Jew clippings for a long time from friends and family so I could start a collection. No one ever had any, so I decided to buy some clippings. I got alot more than I expected, so I thought I'd list some.

The winner will get 12 clippings total - two 4 inch clippings of the following 6 varieties -

Variegated (first picture)
Fuzzy Kitten Ears (second picture)
Purple Heart (third picture)
Emerald Green (fourth picture)
Purple
Dark Purple
(Sorry, the pictures of these last two wouldn't upload for some reason)

Wandering Jew is a very easy plant to grow and propagate. Just stick cuttings in dirt or water, and in about a week, the plant will be taking off!

They also grow quite fast, so it's easy to make more of these beautiful plants. Just pinch off two to four inch pieces, and start the process again!

I will send these clippings wrapped in wet paper, placed in plastic, then put in a mailing box.

Thanks for looking : )

Questions & Comments

Hey, just found the secret to wandering jews success it's the bottle of bud in the backround!

Jun 20th, 2011 at 11:46:20 AM PDT by

Yeah, I noticed that bottle in the picture after I uploaded it! I have everyone bring me glass bottles so I can scrub the labels off and use them for my clippings. That was one I haven't washed yet. I have heard, though, that some people feed their plants beer. I haven't tried it myself. Mine just get the bottles : )

lol cool anyway hope to bid but there is another 11 day

Jun 21st, 2011 at 1:42:42 PM PDT by

Thanks. I know it's a pretty long auction, but I like to time my auctions to my paydays so I can make sure I can ship them out right away. Thanks for watching!

Jun 21st, 2011 at 1:59:18 PM PDT by

Nice Auction! ~ Watching and hope to bid ;-) Thank you for listing!

Jun 19th, 2011 at 8:07:39 PM PDT by

Thank YOU for watching : )

Jun 19th, 2011 at 8:15:09 PM PDT by

These are strictly indoor plants?

Jun 22nd, 2011 at 3:53:13 PM PDT by

They can be grown outdoors year round in warm climates, but if you get cold winters, they should be brought indoors.

Jun 22nd, 2011 at 4:09:02 PM PDT by

Fanned and watching! (I bid and was immediately out bid, of course!) I'll try bidding again later!

Jun 26th, 2011 at 10:34:21 AM PDT by

Thank you for trying : ) I'll probably list more in a week or so, so you'll have another chance if you don't have any luck this time : ) Fanned you back!

Jun 26th, 2011 at 11:01:55 AM PDT by

nice

Jun 22nd, 2011 at 10:20:08 AM PDT by

Thank you!

Wandering Jew plants are my favorite! I find that they grow easier if you plant them directly in soil (I use Miracle Gro). I fanned you and I'm watching =)

Jun 23rd, 2011 at 8:10:33 AM PDT by

I plant some of my Wandering Jew cuttings directly in soil, but mostly I start them in water. I really don't think you can go wrong any way you plant them. They are such an easy and fast growing plant. Thanks for watching. Fanned you back : )

Jun 23rd, 2011 at 10:53:47 AM PDT by

fanned you. Will they grow in Minnesota. Indoors of course.

Jun 25th, 2011 at 11:10:02 AM PDT by

As far as I know, they'll grow ANYWHERE as a houseplant! These really are a hardy plant. Fanned you back : )

Jun 25th, 2011 at 11:36:16 AM PDT by

fanned ya so I can be looking :)

Jun 24th, 2011 at 5:05:46 PM PDT by

Thank you. Fanned you back!

Jun 24th, 2011 at 5:26:28 PM PDT by

Sure hope you put more up, I have been out of state the last month for birth of grandson so no credits right now

Jun 24th, 2011 at 5:04:35 PM PDT by

I probably will list more. If I do, it will be another long auction because I like to time them around my paydays so I can offer free shipping. You should have plenty of time to build up credits : ) Congratulations on your new grandson!!

Jun 24th, 2011 at 8:49:23 AM PDT by

Oooh, I'll have to try that : )

Jun 24th, 2011 at 9:26:57 AM PDT by

I have many of these! Love em =) I'm such a plant nerd lol

Jun 24th, 2011 at 7:56:40 AM PDT by

When I lived back east, I always grew them, then I moved out west and left my plants behind. I've spent a few years looking to replace my Wandering Jew, and could never find them in stores. I finally gave up and got some on ebay. I don't know what took me so long!!

Jun 24th, 2011 at 8:28:43 AM PDT by

Great collection - thanks for sharing! Fanned and watching.

Every time I try to grow plants I somehow end up killing them. Is this the type of plant
That will grow no matter what? If it is I really want some!!!
watching and fanned you. great auction!!

Jun 24th, 2011 at 1:48:33 PM PDT by

I can only speak for myself, but I've never killed a Wandering Jew. They are one of the easiest plants I've ever grown. I've killed my fair share of plants, too, especially tropicals, but I've never had problems with these. Thanks for watching and fanning. Fanned you back : )

Jun 24th, 2011 at 1:59:13 PM PDT by

ive also heard fuzzy kitten ears called lambs ears.. my youngest has one that she fell in love with at the store lol

Jun 19th, 2011 at 1:38:44 AM PDT by

They are so soft that I touch them every time I walk by my plant!!

Jun 19th, 2011 at 3:20:08 AM PDT by

Are these kid friendly...not poisonous?

Jun 27th, 2011 at 4:11:41 PM PDT by

I've never known them to be poisonous, but I did some online checking of poisonous houseplants, just to be sure. They are not listed as poisonous, but the sap from the stems may cause skin irritation. I would suggest keeping them up out of reach of small children, just to be on the safe side. Since they look so pretty in hanging baskets, that would probably be the best thing for you to do : )

Jun 27th, 2011 at 5:06:02 PM PDT by

Thanks Molly! I will be watching

Jun 26th, 2011 at 4:07:47 PM PDT by

You're welcome : )

Jun 26th, 2011 at 11:13:22 PM PDT by

this is so awesome

Jun 28th, 2011 at 10:53:59 AM PDT by

Thanks. I'm glad you like it!

Jun 28th, 2011 at 11:28:21 AM PDT by

i didn't know there was different kinds.

Jun 27th, 2011 at 6:44:30 AM PDT by

I knew there were a couple of varieties, but some, like the Fuzzy Kitten Ears... I had no idea about until I started looking for my collection : )

Jun 27th, 2011 at 9:56:51 AM PDT by

Let me know if it is legal to ship to calif. i know when diriving out of state and returning we were all checked to see if bringing plants in. thanks

Jun 26th, 2011 at 2:32:19 PM PDT by

I looked online for any restrictions, but I got too many conflicting answers. I'm going to check with the post office tomorrow. Thanks for asking, because I probably wouldn't have thought to check otherwise.

Jun 26th, 2011 at 11:12:47 PM PDT by

Do you mean that these can grow in water alone without soil?

Jun 19th, 2011 at 8:15:01 PM PDT by

They can be rooted in either soil or water. I have a "bottle garden" in my sunny windows at all times, and I let my Wandering Jews stay there in the bottles I root them in until their roots outgrow the bottle. I then take clippings from the vines, plant the rooted plant in soil, ant put the clipping back in the bottle of water. I've done that for years. I also do that with Pothos, Philodendron, and a few other plants as well : )

Jun 19th, 2011 at 9:10:20 PM PDT by

great auction! fanned u :)

nice listing

Jun 29th, 2011 at 8:52:03 AM PDT by

Thanks. Glad you like it : )

Jun 29th, 2011 at 10:59:58 AM PDT by

BASDD, I just called my local post office, and the clerk checked on restrictions for mailing plants. All she could find were restrictions for international shipping, or sending fruit. She told me that there are no restrictions on me mailing them here from Nevada, but she suggested that you ask your local post office to be sure you can receive them in California. Thanks again for asking : )

Jun 27th, 2011 at 4:09:24 PM PDT by

Moving this fall - would love to get some then to start new houseplants in new home!! Maybe you will keep listing periodically.

Jul 2nd, 2011 at 9:08:15 AM PDT by

As my houseplant collection grows, I'll be listing more cuttings and "babies", so I will probably have plants of some kind on here every couple of weeks : ) Good luck in your new home!

Jul 2nd, 2011 at 10:26:32 AM PDT by

Great auction....I'm definitely watching (hoping to bid but I don't have many points at the moment!) Going to check to see if you have put any more clippings up! I have a small apartment and need more plants like I need a hole in the head, but somehow my black thumb has turned green since moving here! lol Don't know how that happened :-) Purple is my FAVORITE color -- so I will definitely look forward to having some of those!

Jun 30th, 2011 at 8:06:08 PM PDT by

When this auction ends, I will list some more clippings. I was going to wait a few weeks, because a few days ago I got two new Wandering Jew clippings, one Rainbow, which is a really pretty variegated pink (which is MY favorite color!) and one Tricolor, which is like the rainbow, but also has purple coloring with it. They are gorgeous, but they are both really small so I won't be able to get clippings from them for a few weeks. Instead of waiting that long before I list the next Wandering Jew auction, I'll list it in a few days, and offer the two new clippings separately when they're ready : )
I was really disappointed that the pictures of the Purple and Dark Purple varieties didn't upload, because they are so pretty. Hopefully I can get them to upload next time.
Thank you for watching : )

Jun 30th, 2011 at 9:45:45 PM PDT by

I think if you don't rinse the beer bottles they'll even be happier. I'm fanning and watching. Thanks

Jun 30th, 2011 at 5:33:02 PM PDT by

Maybe ; ) Thanks for watching. Fanned you back.

Jun 30th, 2011 at 6:21:24 PM PDT by

I've always heard them called spider plants...wanderin jew sounds like it could be really offensive to somebodyi

Jul 1st, 2011 at 8:53:12 PM PDT by

I'm very sorry if I've offended anyone, but that is the actual name of this plant. Spider plant is a different plant entirely.
