    That is just how many leaves look as they are coming out. Then, they fade to dull, or remain shiny depending on the type of plant. In this case, they should go dull, or grow small hairs.

    If you can include a photo, then I will be able to help you a little better. It will give me an idea of what is going on, exactly.

    You are in growing zone 8b which is just outside the growing zone for Wandering Jew.
    You could try it, but it may have some die back.

    It is hard to tell from the photo, as it is somewhat blurry and a little dark. but it looks like a type of Tradescantia. They come in many colors, shapes, and styles ranging from short fat leaves to long slender leaves that are purple, green, white, or a combination of these colors.

    No, it won't survive winter outside. You can bring it indoors when temperatures get close to 50 degrees F outside in the fall.

    They are quite brittle to begin with, and lack of light can make them more so. Try giving them a little more light, and if that doesn't work check for silica deficiency.

    Potassium silicate should be used sparingly for correction, since it can lock out Iron, Manganese, Copper and Zinc.

    Since it is alkaline, it can also lock out nitrogen. Start at 1/4 strength, and work your way up every two or three weeks until you find the amount that they need. Then stop completely, as it will remain in the soil for a while.

    Here is an article that will offer more information on the plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/wandering-jew/growing-wandering-jew-plants.htm

    They will, actually, root better with alternating wet and dry periods in soil.

    Being highly invasive and semi-succulent, they hold and store water quite well. Rooting them in water will take just a little longer than rooting in soil and watering as you would a mature specimen, though they will still root in water. You just have to raise the temperature of the water some by setting it in sunlight.
