If you don't have any luck getting them in a trade, Accents for Home and Garden has several different varieties of both Wandering Jew and Swedish Ivy.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes. I would send you cuttings if I had them but unfortunately right now I don't have either of these plants. :(

Well Kwie if this was a month ago, I could've given you two different wandering jew plants and you could take as many cuttings as you wanted. I did give some cuttings away in May I can probably get some of those there would be a green king or purple (mauve) which do you prefer? Or both? I'll see but I'm pretty sure I can get the cuttings of those ;seeing how I gave them the starts lol

Thanks guys. SummerS, that's a dangerous site for me to wander about unsupervised! Luckily, their shopping is too expensive or I'd have shards time controlling my impulse to buy more plants. What a selection!

Christy, that'd be awesome if your friends had enough to spare. I'm familiar with the purple/mauve variety, so it'd probably be the better one to use, but I think all wandering Jews are similar, fast-growing, easy care, so either variety would be fine. I'd just be glad to have something. The nurseries around here are also all telling me they could've hooked me up a month ago, but they've cleaned out all their delicate plants to make room for bulbs.

I might try a package of coleus seeds too, just to see. I think they're only a couple dollars.
