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! :) ![Anhang 1 von 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/xlb3SIGU1TzJBXJElvzPhiCZvl6p0cZxzkhZx0WZAFA/yNWdRC5bR4STn-WC4yszzg.webp?size=large) ## 4 Kommentare ### Jojo kommentierte am 2025-02-19 How recently did you purchase the plant? ### Leafydreams kommentierte am 2025-02-19 4 days ago! ### Sunny kommentierte am 2025-02-19 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. #### Leafydreams antwortete am 2025-02-19 That’s good to hear.
