Almost four months ago I planted a cutting of Moses In A Cradle (Tradescantia spathacea ?) in a pot.
At the time of planting, it was about 6" tall. It's kept right near a window that has a southernly exposure, but because of outdoor window awnings, the light isn't direct or very strong. I water it deeply about once a week, when the soil at the top of the pot feels dry. This plant has grown to a height of about 15", and it's very leggy. It's like a stem with leaves (no more than 3 or 4" long) about every two or three inches on a long stalk. It can't support itself, so I put a dowel in the pot to keep if from falling over.
I've kept Moses In The Cradle in the past, and they were wonderful compact plants that never got leggy.
Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how I can fix it?
Thank you for whatever help you can offer.
