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??

The leaves look like they're shriveling. I also see some aerial roots. That could either be a sign of not enough water, or too much, leading to the roots dying and the plant dropping leaves out of stress. I would gradually expose it to more light as well as it looks etiolated. So I would put it in a full sized real pot with good drainage so that it has a nice, regular amount of water delivery, and the greater light will ensure it can use that water adequately (and not get root rot)
