I have never seen anything like this? I’ve separated it from the rest of my plants, it’s the only one with this problem! Why is it purple??

Time to break out the grow lights I guess. I had no idea they could turn purple, it freaked me out! The specks on the leaves are just soil from me planting another plant next to it, just haven’t dusted it off yet. Is it okay to replant it while it’s fragile?

Giving it more water and some light might help in the short term, but if it doesn't stabilise soon it might not make a difference in the end. Just make sure not to drastically change the light exposure as it might get sunburnt
