Anyone know why these plants get brown and crinkly leaves? I keep losing leaves!

Mine does the same and I read it’s because it’s going too long dry since they like to be moist.

I water mine every other day.  
Mine is also outside.

I cannot keep this dang plant healthy. I am not much of a pruner but you have to keep doing it. Any time I’ve tried- the props never take root in the pot. I tried water, still grew longer and lost all its leaves on the stalk.

This is wandering Jude, correct?

This is tradescantia nanouk! Wandering dude is different color and wants more light than this one
