ah...I hate this forum....every time I try to post link it messes up, hope this works

Here is a link that might be useful:

It's not getting enough light. Plants will stretch and reach for light and have more space in between leaves.
Also I think most verigated plants or brightly colored like more light than the plain green ones.
I would wait until spring to repot it as this isn't a good time of year. If it's a purple heart you can then just cut it off just above the soil line give it lots of light and it should flourish for you. You can do a root trim then also.
I think you've got a purple heart or something in the family of Tradescantia or Rhoeo.

To post directly in your text from photobucket just copy the html tag line. But the link you provided works just fine also.

it had lots of light....it was on my window..and then when it started doing that I've put it somewhere else. And yeah I think it is Rhoeo

When the days got shorter and less light that probably started it.
I would put it back in the window if its not too cold there.
Once spring comes and the days are longer, then you can cut it back, repot it but don't fertilize it after repotting. Give it a month or so to settle in.

It looks like the plant isnt getting enough water. The soil looks very dry. Bleaching of the leaves can be caused by too much sunlight, so moving it back farther might be a good idea. The sun is lower in the sky in winter. Just my thoughts.

Kasia..your pic came out fine..It's a Variegated Rhoeo, Oyster (Moses in the Cradle.)
You said, "It's on my window." But which direction is the window facing? During winter, it needs quite a bit of sun, w/some direct if possible. A north wouldn't do this plant justice during winter months.
Also, what size is its pot? By the picture, it looks large, but pics could be deceiving. Rhoeo doesn't like to be overpotted..also do not keep soil wet..soil must dry between waterings. Toni

No fertilizer until 1.plant resumes health and 2. Sunny/warmer days.

There is no way that plant is getting enough light for its health, let alone enough to be bleached by the sun, as suggested above. The pale lanky growth is definitely a symptom of too little light. Even if it seems like lots of light to you, it is clearly not enough for your plant. The crisp leaves at the base suggest too little water as well.

Advice from a source suggests this plant "rhoeo" can take some adverse conditions; less than necessary moisture level, AND light that may be not from the best exposure.

But I agree the look of the plant suggests it is in a bad way...and I think the pot changing was at the heart of the problem.

Cassia, most houseplants like to be kept in pots where they can be root bound. Your persistence in re-potting to larger pots is going directly against the plant's wishes.

When you thrust your plant's roots into the bigger pot, it had all that soil to take nutrition from ...nutrition it didn't need...it was getting enough out of the smaller pot.
You forced it to feed....much like you sitting down to breakfast, lunch and dinner in one sitting and told you had to clean your plate. And then the same thing the next day, and the next and the next.....you did that to your plant.

I'm afraid the picture says it all...your plant is probably past fixing but I suggest you get it back into the smaller pot and let it do what it will do in light as much as you can give it. Don't let it touch the window glass--its cold.

Water to drainage and dump the excess, then let it dry down between. In the new pot, I wouldn't worry about not letting it grow what it will do at this time....go ahead, put fresh potting soil into it and water well.
In another month or so, light values will return somewhat...and keep getting better as the days come.
Cut back those brown ugly leaves--not necessarily remove the whole leaf if green can be seen but use scissors to clean it up.

The pot should have something under the soil to keep the soil away from the drainage holes. Possibly your plant's soil plugged up the drainage holes and then root rot entered the picture. The plant must drain well and the excess water should not be allowed to sit in the saucer where it can be re-drawn back up to the roots.

As the sun values return in February, let your plant remain in the high light source for a time....until well into May when you can draw it back somewhat...your plant likes bright light to low light so let it take what it will and see what happens.

Your plant is starving to death from lack of enough light. This is a plant that needs a very sunny window.
