Is it possible to shape a bolivian wandering jew into a topiary or have it climb up a trellis?
Though it won't climb on its own, you can tie it with parafilm, or plant ties. Just make sure that they are not made of wire, since this may harm the plants.
Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/growing-topiaries-inside.htm
In the care guide on the website it says do not water directly into the crown of the wandering jew plant, because it will cause unsightly rot. But you don't explain how it should be watered. Please explain. Thanks!
Just water the ground around the plant. Do not put water directly on the plant, its stem, or its crown, if you can help it.
Really, though. These plants should not need supplemented water, unless you live in a desert area. They are very, very drought tolerant, and can become very invasive when they get watered and fed.
In short, you shouldn't need to water. It will be the last plant to show any signs of drought. In fact, you can even wait until they start to go limp to water.
Hi, My zebrina plant seems to be dying and I need help reviving it. I am watering it twice a week and it is placed in a south facing window. But ever since I bought in from the nursery (about a month back) the leaves have been wilting and nothing seems to help. Please help revive the plant
It probably is a combination shock of a new environment and overwatering. Let the top of the soil dry before watering again. Also, they prefer indirect, bright light so if it's right in the south window, move it back a bit. Also, this article says not to water directly into the center, which can cause rot. Try to water below the stems. Here is more:

Can you turn a bolivian wandering jew plant into a topiary? I'm wondering if it can be shaped or trained to trail up a trellis?
I don't know why it wouldn't. You will need to attach it to your trellis at regular points to train it upwards. If you are using a three-dimensional topiary form, you can train several stems upwards and continue pinching the ends for a bushy shape.
how can I remove wandering jew in 10x10 foot hybrid iris garden without disturbing iris ???
I found one chemical that has no effect on an Iris, but will likely kill Wandering Jew. This would be Sethoxydim.
I have several cuttings
This is as simple as sticking them into moist soil. If you would rather see the rooting process it can be done in water. This this genus contains species that are incredibly invasive in most areas, so it will root easily. Outside of this, you really just need to keep it contained. Really, though, I recommend permanent container life.
