I would repot just to be safe and then bottom water only. Make sure it doesn’t have any parasites and give it nice fresh chunky mix! This soil doesn’t look great!

Maybe it’s root bound?

I’m convinced Satan himself made tradescantia. I keep anthuriums, ferns, alocasias, calatheas, etc. with zero problem but any time I’ve ever had a tradescantia variety they drop dead.

Wild because I cloned my tradescantia Padilla four times and it grows very well with basically no issues

It’s so sad because I think they are beautiful 😔 I have no idea what goes wrong. I’ve tried propagating in water, soil, perlite, sphagnum moss, and fluval stratum and I have failed every time.

I have two clones I have had sitting in water for like a month that I don’t know where to put. I might put them in a nursery pot and give them away because I need the space soon for sweet potato slips

That’s so cool! I wish I could keep them alive long enough to do stuff like this
