Master the art of watering your Wandering Jew for optimal health and growth.
Watering Frequency
Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; reduce frequency in winter to prevent root rot.

Active growing season - water more frequently. Check soil every 2-3 days.

Dormant period - reduce watering. Allow soil to dry more between waterings.

- Allow soil to dry partially between waterings; avoid overwatering, especially in low light.
Pro Tip
Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the roots.
