My Nanouk Tradescantia has crispy brown edges, some worse than others. I water once soil is about 60-80% dry and gets bright indirect light. Any idea what is happening? Perhaps low humidity or under-watering?

    Do you have a room humidifier or humidity tray to offer it humidity, or keep it in a cabinet? If not, humidity could definitely be it

      I do have a humidifier in the room but need to turn it on more. Thank you!

    If you think everything else is alright you might want to check the roots.

    Mine does this when the leaves get wet - make sure to keep them dry when you’re watering

    Mine does this too. I’ve tried all the things, but to no avail. I think she just likes to being a little crispy. (She has that in common with my daughter😉.) She keeps getting new growth. Let me know if you get it to stop.

    These are tricky. I’ve had the best luck growing them in water to avoid brown leaves with good light (I use plant lights). Change water every 7-10 days and you can trim the bottoms of they get too tall for your vessel. I use foliage pro fertilizer in the water. I’m going to try Self watering pot next.
