How to prune tradescantia 'bubblegum'

Spring through summer during active growth. Pinch or snip stem tips above a leaf node to stimulate branching. Cut back leggy or bare stems by one-third to one-half. Root trimmings in water or moist soil to fill out the same pot or create new plants.

Tip-pinch every 3–4 weeks in growing season; tidy in early spring. Tradescantia 'Bubblegum' (a pink-toned Tradescantia cultivar) grows fast and becomes leggy without regular pinching. Pinch stem tips often to encourage bushy, dense growth and maintain the best leaf colour. Cut back any long, bare stems. Trimmings root readily and can refresh the pot.
