Yes, but be very careful and inspect it for pests. Plants that are kept outdoors can easily pick up aphids, mites etc. that once brought inside a nice warm house, go crazy and spread to all your other plants. You may also find it goes through a period of adjustment where it drops leaves and seems like it is dying because of a sudden change in light levels if it used to lots of sun. Wandering jew are good house plants though and it will eventually come around if it does go down hill a little.

RE:
can I bring a outdoor wandering jew plant indoors?

Absolutely!! Wandering Jew can be used as a houseplant as well as an outdoor plant. Make sure you put it in a bright, indirect light and misting the leaves daily helps it stay moist. If it gets too long, you can cut the long parts off and toss them or replant them and grow new ones! Fertilize it about once a month with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can. Just make sure to inspect it well before moving it indoors. There could be an assortment of bugs on it. If you take some cuttings from it, you could easily start new plants and make sure that they're bug-free.

yeah they grow in shade. also they will "strike" (grow roots) very very easily from even a very small part of the plant.
i've been told they can give pets rashes.
but i gotta admit i don't like 'em. they are very, very invasive, & considered a terrible weed in N.S.W. australia.
they also hide (in sydney nsw aust) the world most venomous & aggressive spiders (the male anyway) atrax robustus -the sydney funnel web spider.
it's an environmental menace over here that chokes out the native plants.
i do a lot of bushcare & we are forever removing this terrible weed!!
