Tradescantia Help!

Posting here again. I’ve two tradescantias about two months now. Switched their pots. They’ve got these weird spots on them (pictures 1+2), and I’m not sure from what? They’re also green (pictures 3+4) and I wonder if they’re not getting enough sun. Do I need a grow light. Lastly, I put a piece that fell off when I first got them back into the soil and it looks…droopy (last photo).

Anyone know what’s happening? I want to make sure I shift gears to help them get on the right track 🥲.

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but I bought two tradescantia’s mid-August (I couldn’t leave one behind). I’m not sure what the exact type is and I feel as if the leaves are curling up and others are getting those holes in them. I wonder if they need repotting since the roots are growing out the bottom, but I’m afraid to shock them.

I’ve waited ten days to water/until the soil was dry (bottom-watered shallowly). They get medium indirect light/sun through a sheer curtain. I’m not sure if they need misting/more humidity since my room can be sort of dry?

Does anyone have any advice or know what kind of tradescantia these are? I really appreciate it, and apologies if this isn’t the place!

Last two photos are the day I first got them (they were very purple).
