Reviving a Wilted Purple Wandering Jew After Repotting

Repotting into a too-large pot caused root rot: pale, wilty, brown tips, no drainage, wet soil.

Attempt Rescue

  1. Unpot. Cut off rotted roots (mushy, black).
  2. Repot into original pot (cleaned with bleach) with fresh soil.
  3. Keep out of direct sun. Water sparingly until recovery.

Backup: Propagate

  1. Take healthy stem cuttings.
  2. Dip in rooting hormone.
  3. Root in distilled water. Pot when roots 1 inch.

Wandering Jews root easily. Cuttings are your insurance.
