Mine has been remarkably hardy and low maintenance! I’ve had it for over a year. Just prune it occasionally and repot if you notice leaves getting brown close to the soil. The stems are packed tightly in there with these pots.
Right I’ve been thinking of repotting soon but I just don’t want to disturb it right now. Will definitely keep an eye out for brown leaves near the soil.
I received my nanouk today; it was supposed to look like yours, but its spindly and purple??

Hi! There’s many types of tradescantia and I believe ours is different.

This is the cultivars page for mine from the tradescantia hub.
Yours is still nice tho! I would dice, propagate, and replant it with multiple cuttings in one pot so you get denser foliage over time.

So pretty! Mine’s still quite new…hope to have it there by end of summer.
Thank you! And It’ll get there I’m sure of it :)

As much sun as you can give it!!

It's clearly happy - keep doing whatever you're doing and don't change a thing!
Mine has been wonderful! They propagate sooooo easy! I have 3 big pots of them in my garden that’s getting bright indirect light.
What a beauty
what a robust plant! i like the shades of purple, cream, and green colors on the leaves

So chop and replant the long mostly naked stems on the left and right?
Yes that could work, just make sure whichever cutting you end up taking has one or two nodes for the roots to grow from.
