Looks like « sunburn » … might be in too much direct sunlight? Try moving it back from the current window or in a north facing window

I think we could have the same problem. I found some help on Reddit. They have a subreddit for Tradescantia plants and tips. I didn’t realize it is better to bottom water them. I’m not sure if this helps and I’m trying to figure it out too! 😂

thank you michelle and brooke! it’s in a north facing window and I have been bottom watering, both for about a month. maybe this is from before I did those things!

Don’t let the leaves get wet at all. It will turn brown where water touches the leaves.
