my zebra plant does have new growth but after a week or two it gets soggy and falls off. any advice? this plant has been tricky for me since day one.

I’m with ya! For some reason I have the same prob but with crunch spots, I think it’s not enough humidity, I need to move to see if that’s the case. I also noticed my zebra likes to be kept moist. Whatever u do don’t buy a Dottie! She’s beautiful but she’s the most finicky plant I’ve ever seen! So dramatic this one 😂 it literally looks like Edward scissors hands got to her my hubs said 🤣
