I got this plant recently and it already wasn’t in good shape. I’m not sure how to care for it or what to do. I tried cutting off the dead parts but then new ones form. Any ideas?

I have one of these mine get upset when it’s cold or if they’ve been too overwatered they might need some nutrients try soaking a banana peel in water overnight and using the water to water your plant? I tried that on my polka dot plant when she was looking sick and she perked right up might work but I’m not 100% I have a lot of plants but I’m a newbie 😅

It looks like it may be a spider plant, if so they usually die from overwatering, so I’d only water a little every day or few days. On another note it should bounce right back if its roots still look healthy

What plant is this?

this looks like some variant of tradescantia (wandering dude). mine detach from soil all the time and then just continue to grow and it pisses me off 😭 i would let the soil dry out and see how the plant reacts to that. at the worst, they’re super easy to propagate and just restart with.
