Can anyone tell me what this plant is called? I know it looks a bit rough. Someone else was taking care of it And if you have any tips on taking care of it that would be greatly appreciated!!!

It’s a tradescantia, I’d google how to care as it’s not my cup of tea so can’t help with that I’m afraid but I’m sure others on here could.

Emily BAgreed it’s a tradescantia! Mine have been super easy to care for. I would pick off any of the damaged leaves and it should produce new growth. I water when it’s pretty dry about once a week ish. They love to hang so I hang them in my sunny windows and it grows like a weed!

You’re welcome! They are super easy to propagate too once it gets crazy and needs a good trim!

SunnyIt looks overwatered, lacking light or both. Make sure the pot has drainage holes. Water when completely dry. Place in bright indirect light for 8 - 10 hours. You may need a grow light. I think this Nanouk variety can’t handle full sun like the Tradescantia Purple Heart variety (my favorite). Fertilize with diluted liquid fertilizer once a month in colder months. Good luck 🍀 🪴

Plants&Pets 🌱🐱🐶I have a couple of these and have propagated a couple! One of my favourites. Does well with bright indirect light. Look up “fantasy Venice” nanouk on the app

WhimsyI have one from the same family, bright indirect light, constant watering, and monthly fertilizing! I’ve never had any problems with mine so far!
