I have a purple tradescantia zebra a and the more it grows the more green it becomes. Is this some kind or variegation reversion or will they turn purple as they get older? I’ve never seen it put out green leaves while in water but now that it’s in soil I’m seeing them more and more

I’m wondering the same thing!

Hmm. I know the ones I have inside are a much lighter purple than one in the greenhouse. Is it getting enough light?

It always sits either in a window or under a grow light, but maybe that’s not cutting it enough?

If a plant is losing its variegation it usually means it’s not getting enough light
