Does anyone know why my wandering Jew plant lost all its green color?  
I did forget to wader it for a couple months.

I think it gets more purple the more sunlight it receives, more green less sunlight it's getting. I THINK.

Yes your correct

I think it’s very pretty! However, it’s most likely that the lack of water and the stress of recovery is what caused it to lose some of its pigment. It will probably be fine as long as you keep watering it, but I’m not entirely sure if it will ever regain its pigment or if new growth will adapt the same way

The more sun it gets the more purple it is
