My silver inch doesn’t seem happy, loads of brown leaves ☹️ anyone know what could cause the issue? Im finding it hard to gauge if it’s over or underwatered, following the recommended plan. Thank you!

I’d check the roots for sure.. also pull off all dead leaves.

The condition of the roots will indicate overwatering or under watering issues. Lowlight can also cause leaves to die off. Tradescantias do well in full sun and higher humidity.

So this plant loves maintenance, it could be that it just wants a little trim down. Based on the leaves it looks like some leaves aren’t getting enough sun. What’s your climate like?

I pick off the dead ones and new ones have started back. Lots of light helps too
