What’s wrong with my plant? The leaves are all soft now and coming off. I’ve followed the care instructions to the letter. What’s wrong? Is it dieing? #ZebraPlant #Zebraplantworld

Zebra plant leaves curling? Hi, Has anyone ever had their zebra plants’ leaves curl or bend at the tips? My plant otherwise looks healthy; new growths and everything. Am I doing something wrong? I will also note that it was painted when I bought it. I have a pink one too and while that ones leaves are also bent at the tips, the bending is much more subtle. Thanks!

Browning My zebra plant is browning, but I think she seems healthy otherwise? I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if she’s dying. What do you guys think?? #SucculentLove

What’s this? My zebra plant now has this mold-looking stuff growing on it. Does anyone know what it might be and/or how to treat it?

Im scared to overwater my plants, again. 2 or 3 months ago I got these from my friend and im watering them every blue moon because Ive killed so many suc's ive lost count. Ive wathered them yesterday and that without firtilizer, sould I wait next month to add it? When I get home I'll provide few pics fo show they are skiny and underwatered. I sould perhaps have calendar event to remind me to water it every month and not every week. *they are in tinny tainy pots i cant pooke a finger cuz ill break some of the roots, and pots are like 5 cm deep anyway. #zebraplant

Should I repot this? I’ve had this plant for about a month now. Does it need repotting or can it wait longer? #NewPlantMom #SucculentLove
