_Posted by 🌱🌻EmmaB🌻🌱 on 2023-09-09_

My friend gave me her zebra plant that wasn’t doing that well. She doesn’t have the time to give it the care it needs. But I have no idea what is going on with it. The tips of its leave turn brown, before the whole leaf turns brown and falls off. I’ve watered it and given it plant food, I have even placed it next to a humidifier as it is a jungle plant. Please help!!
