Does anyone know why the leaves at the base of the stems on my Tradescantia Zebrina (inch plant) are paling?

For my tradescantia its usually a sign they need more water. But also, it’s pretty common for the top leaves to fall off naturally as it grows. When it gets left I cut/propagate

Okay! Thank you!

This looks very natural as our inch plants do this too.
