    The pale color and limp texture can be caused by several issues including insufficient light and too much water on the roots too long. I recommend repotting it into a pot 1 inch to 2 inches wider because a tradescantia that size needs more soil and good drainage. Use a soil with good drainage like standard potting mix with extra aggregate like perlite. Give it in bright indirect sunlight for 6-8 hours a day or under a grow light for 10-12 hours a day. Water when the soil is dry and not using a schedule to prevent overwatering. Fertilize with 50% diluted liquid fertilizer twice a week in warmer months. Good luck.🍀🪴

    Not sure why it’s turning brown but I found with mine that this plant likes to trail, not grow up ward. I did a couple cuttings of mine and when they grew roots transplanted back into the pot to make it bushier. The more sunlight it gets the more purple color you’ll see
