What kind of care does this baby need?

This is my first Tradescantina and I'm not sure the kind of care it needs. I realized the leaves were getting like this after keeping it by the window with indirect sun.

@witchesspells I’ve heard these brown spots can also be due to getting water on their leaves. I’ve been trying to be more careful when I water, but clearly I’m failing at that! πŸ˜‚ I still think they’re beautiful though.

If it hasn’t started yet, know that the really vine out and get leggy. In the wild the crawl along the ground. When a vine gets longer than you want or loses lots of leaves, you can snip them off and propagate in water.

They grow roots VERY quickly. I like to wait until the roots are nice and long before moving to dirt. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸͺ΄
Here’s mine. It’s coming back from a heavy hair cut a few weeks ago.
