Almost killed this tradescantia in soil from (I think) overwatering it. The leaves were turning brown and floppy and the roots were not looking great 🫣 chopped it up and put the healthy part in some water as a last ditch effort….. now it’s thriving lol. Go figure! 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve found that tradescantia like to dry out completely between watering, but also thrive living in water!

Me too. As soon as I put them in soil they start looking like they hate life
