I repotted to this one about 4 months ago, and I water it regularly. Partial sun in a brighter room, but still she looks really pale and has at least 3 dead leaves a week that get real crispy. Any suggestions? Thx! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/C1wzrWUwgW30WmZaXdo8eUYvxaSyVEOslqVTbIU1Idw/nhr9pBcWR_eKnLkL03q5bA.webp?size=large) ## 13개의 댓글 ### NewerHorizons777님이 2024-03-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. How often do you water it? And does it have drainage? I have one also and that type of thing seems to happen when it has too much water or it’s getting root bound. #### Lindsey님이 2024-03-07에 답변했습니다. I water every 1.5 weeks or so - whenever the alerts tell me to. There’s good drainage, and this pot is pretty new. The growth is almost gangly and the vines aren’t thick or strong ### Morgan T 🍄🖤님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요.

You can always make more by stem propagating #### Lindsey님이 2024-03-07에 답변했습니다. Interestingly enough, the same thing started happening to the one I propagated 😭 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/C1wzrWUwgW30WmZaXdo8eUYvxaSyVEOslqVTbIU1Idw/ZY1k0Ec7T1K6F4uzhgRHag.webp?size=large) #### Sunny님이 2024-03-07에 답변했습니다. The pot is too big for those few stems. This could lead to root rot when the plant can’t use all the water in the soil. Plus, they like bright light and need it to maintain the dark colors. ### Chrissy님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. These plants do not have a very long life span. I think my most thriving ones only lasted 2 years. #### Lindsey님이 2024-03-07에 답변했습니다. That’s certainly good to know! Thank you! ### Tellie님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. This is my baby in October. Still the same. It’s just on the ground now. I’ve had it going on 3 years. I have 2 Purple Heart plants going on 5 years they are bigger than this one. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Z2B7kTs6ufIy2O5NurADba3zGv2JQOTvYvXGk_Uw430/yrWNNpqgSjWMbx-_hZPVFg.webp?size=large) ### Sunny님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. It’s a myth that Tradescantias only live a few years. My Purple Heart has been living in 3 pots outside in full 100°F summer sun and winter freeze (Zone 9) for almost 15 years. See pic. I have one in a 6 inch pot almost 10 years. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/RHhX_B-ZQ2ST8OHyxIRsHA.webp?size=large) ### Sunny님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Your plant looks pale like it lacks sufficient light and getting too much water as stated above. Following the Planta app to water without verifying the plant actually needs water can kill the plant. Be sure to use a bamboo skewer to verify the soil is completely dry before watering. 🍀🪴 ### Rachel님이 2024-03-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Definitely not enough light. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
