My tradescantia is growing a lot. I am curious if I need to repot it, do I need to put little support stakes in, or is this normal? I tried to do some research and couldn’t find anything

Pull off the pot. Repot if you see more roots than soil.

They are runners, ground covers. So, they will dangle off the pot since their vines are flexible. They do well in hanging baskets.

You have to chop and propagate to add the new rooted cuttings back into the pot. This gives a fuller lush plant. They propagate well in water or lightly moist soil. Fertilize the cuttings as soon as new roots emerge.

When mine start getting longer like that, I just pinch the long ones off a bit , poke a hole in the soil of the pot, stick the end of the clipping into the hole, and Voila! Easy peasy. Keeps the plant bushy and beautiful.

I do the same thing. They grow really easy
