i bought this plant from a local nursery almost 2 weeks ago..

i was in good condition until i transplanted it in the larger pot..
whats the reason behind that.. Gurus... ??

I think grass hoppers or sparrows have had a little nibble on it

ohhhh sparrows they are ruining my plants.. what should i do to avoid them.. unfortunately i have a roof top garden i made a small shade but they enter any how

Sparrows are always looking for some good desert and in experience in petting birds is that they will never let the leaves of any plant to remain in proper shape. My young plants were also ruined by the birds but I covered it with wire mesh.

This is a tough tradescantia and multiplies well also. It is just unsightly but will recover.
