Help! Tradescantia

Can anyone advise on this poor tradescantia? It was living in my west facing bathroom over the winter, which was obviously a mistake. It was much happier in the east facing box room over the previous summer.

Are you sure it’s a Tradescantia? It doesn’t look like it, more like a Pothos?

Agreed that’s not a tradescantia - it’s as pp says,
sometimes also called devils ivy.

they’re usually quite tough but don’t like too much direct sunlight. And need to dry out completely between watering?

🤣 yes you're right, it's a porthos, sorry wrong plant. The bathroom has opaque windows so I thought it would be ok in there over winter. I possibly over watered it, being in the bathroom, easy to just pour some water in it. I'll let it dry out and put it out of the sun.
