A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum My Wondering Jew has gotten frost on it! HELP!!

I accidently left my WJ outside and it got frost on one side. Of course, the leaves on that side turned black and spotted. I have pulled those off, but the question is: What do I do to make sure that it won't die? I have brought it in, is that enough?

They are quite resilient plants. Other than cutting off the affected areas I don't know too much else that you could do for it. Is it a really full, big plant?

Glad to have you here.

it has been my experience that wandering jews are indeed resiliant. If you are patient I think it will revive. I do not have one now, but when I did I always brought it on in the fall

Thanks for your reply. Yes, my plany was very large brfore the frost. I did have to pull out a lot of it though.

If you were worried about the plant not making it I'd take some of the healthy parts for cuttings and root them in water. Although I'm sure it will be fine.
