Tradescantia brown spots

A dry fixed patch after sun or handling differs from wet-looking damage spreading among overlapping leaves. Check stem firmness around the pot as well as the marked blades.

Keep leaves dry and growing tips sound

Water the mix rather than wetting crowded foliage. Remove badly affected leaves with clean scissors and allow space for air movement. Filter intense sun if only exposed leaves have fixed papery patches.

If the crown is failing, preserve firm tip cuttings with nodes beyond the damage. Root them in lightly moist mix. For expanding lesions, separate the plant and seek identification instead of assuming every spot is a watering mark.
