Q.Wandering Jew (Zebrina) Plant Dying

Zone London | pats added on October 24, 2020 | Answered

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:
