@Succulent_Soul · Answer

I used to have one of these plants and I would keep it in my window sill with brigh indirect light. What kind of soil are you using and how often are you watering it?

@Succulent_Soul · Answer

I also had mine in regular potting soil

Who know who is great with this hold on and tag her

@Idplantthat · Answer

@stephongreg, this is who I would ask any questions about Tradescantia.

@Ponytailmom · Answer

@MarvelFicus38 That’s a really big pot for such a little plant, maybe the soil is staying too wet 4-5 inches deep?

@Succulent_Soul · Answer

@MarvelFicus38 ohh ok was she in a lower lit place before? I would mover her to a smaller pot to help avoid root rot.

@stephongreg · Answer

@Idplantthat thank you for the tag! 
@MarvelFicus38 sorry I'm just now seeing this. I agree with others, you need to move this into a much smaller pot and mix a bunch of perlite into the soil. Between the pot size and the dense soil, I'm worried it's going to rot.

I had trouble with mine too so I put it on my sunporch and it gets some direct sun in the afternoon. I water it when the soil dries and it looks great
