Help, the tips of my purple heart are turning brown. They
are healthy looking in all other ways. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

If it's a "setcresia" it could be suffering either from getting too dry or too much sun. They are sometimes attacked by fungal diseases which can be controled with Daconil.

Thanks, I'll try it. If it is something else a good does
of Daconil couldn't hurt. It gets afternoon sun and I try to keep it watered. Again thanks!

I understand that Setcreasea purpurea had its botanical name officially changed to Tradescantia pallida
