I do understand that these plants get bugs so really check for them. I had one a long time ago and that’s what happened to it. It kind of put me off on them. I hope you have better luck than me.

Inconsistent watering can cause the older leaves to dry up especially when the plant is under watered.

Being root bound can cause the same symptoms. Check the root. The roots on tradescantias are very thin. It takes longer to become root bound. But, it happens.

Check for root rot. It can happen if the plant is overwatered. 🍀🪴

Likely just cavitation on the lower leaves from dryibg out too much before watering. But could be pests or root issues so I would check the plant for both if you’re good about watering

Tradescantia don’t like having wet leaves. If otherwise healthy that’s probably the cause. Water from the bottom :)
