One is in a terracotta pot with drainage and the other is in a plastic pot without drainage. Any suggestions are appreciated! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LAin9rR0inhnkViP8ZBN_M-ZITfb9tPARpKO-QdSRno/99ae74f9d79a4ef789e3620eec6735c7.webp?size=large) ## 10개의 댓글 ### Sunny님이 2024-01-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. All the pots need drainage or you will get root rot. The terracotta pot looks like overwatering as well based on on the dark color of the stems’ base. The soil also looks like it was growing fungus at one time or that is salts/minerals from the soil. I recommend getting rid of that soil. Check for root rot and remove, if any. Rinse roots with hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria. Let the roots dry for a few hours to form callouses and prevent bacterial infection. Use premium potting mix with less compost-like soil. Water when the soil is almost dry or fully dries out. It looks a little limp when it needs water. Indirect bright light works well with those two varieties. Less light shows less color. I use Osmocote fertilizer granules. ### Jenny R님이 2024-01-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. I also have a Tradescandia “Bubblegum” (purple plant) !! Definitely needs drainage holes to avoid root rot, and I water them much less in winter because they’re a tropical plant \& should be treated like succulents (depending on where you’re located). I also give them food about once a month especially in winter. As you water less, the purple will darken as well! Hope this helps! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Mf9qy3eaeO6d1OjWivEGE4ZS-cBvqWrN_mFRo5izFzk/1453fedebf1c4e46a9335e0dedf016dc.webp?size=large) #### Waytoplant님이 2024-01-14에 답변했습니다. Do you wait for yours to dry out completely before watering? #### Waytoplant님이 2024-01-14에 답변했습니다. Is that a high sun window? #### Jenny R님이 2024-01-15에 답변했습니다. Yes I feel the soil as I go, and it gets sunlight for about 8-9 hours a day, directly and indirectly! #### Waytoplant님이 2024-01-15에 답변했습니다. You let it dry out completely before watering? #### Jenny R님이 2024-01-16에 답변했습니다. usually yes, sometimes i will water it if only some parts of soil feel damp (and it looks like it needs the water) ### Lindsay in PA님이 2024-01-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thank you everyone! ### Plant Father님이 2024-01-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. looks like overwatering and not enough light. if you’re using a moisture meter, those things are known for being inaccurate and unreliable, many have killed their plants relying on them. t. zebrina specifically is a shimmery pinkish purple when it receives enough light. picture to follow #### Plant Father님이 2024-01-14에 답변했습니다. mine are under a 12-hour grow light and very purple and happy ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/cY9SDweddqu5HwLKnArK26cVuNWlPSTffMn9ElYkfbk/503b6dcec21045c4bcd08a0f9dae4c4a.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
