Hello,
I have two varieties of tradescantia which I need some help with please! They both have developed spots on some leaves. Pics below. The first has white spots around the leaf edges, the second has yellow patches over the whole leaf.
They are both kept in my living room which is quite shady. Watered once a fortnight and misted a few times a week.
Thank you in advance for your help!

I can only say I sometimes see very similar markings on cucumber leaves I grow in the greenhouse which are almost certainly caused by snails or slugs.
Damage by thrips also looks similar but the spots (I think) are smaller.
The only other thing I can think of is spider mites which again leave tiny spots on leaves, but never heard of them on a tradescantia before.
Have you had a look at the underside of the leaves with a magnifier to see if you can see any beasties?
