# I thought my zebra plant turned red from over concentrated…

_Posted by Elle on 2023-09-27_

I thought my zebra plant turned red from over concentrated fertilizer, so I took a break from fertilizing, but that was a few months ago and it hasn’t changed. It’s in part sun part shade with a grow light on the second to lowest setting. I’m watering it on schedule. Anyone know if this is from something else or how to get it back to green?  
Side note, a couple of my other succulents (in different locations) have had some leaves turn red on the bottom, so I don’t think it’s sunburn. And I had stopped fertilizing all at the same time.
