My tradescantia I have are outside. Full sun and currently blooming. I water once a week unless hot. Then I check it on hot days to see if they need water. I’ve had mine outside for years. A good 5. They have been doing fine.

Looks normal to me

It might need more light. The hanging basket is hung too high. I recommend lowering the basket so the top of the soil can get light. 🪴🍀
