Hello everyone! I recently purchased a Tradescantia from a nursery, and just a few hours after bringing it home, I noticed that the leaves started to curl under and looked a bit dry. The soil feels quite damp, so I'm waiting for the right time to water again. My apartment doesn’t get much natural light, so I’ve also purchased a grow light to help with that. How can I make my plant happy again? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :)

How recently did you purchase the plant?

4 days ago!

It’s acclimating to its new environment. Put it in its long term location with the grow light and it will adapt in a few weeks.
