When I purchased my Zebra plant I was told to water it by giving it a little mist. I’ve had it for months and just watch it slowly deteriorate 😭 it’s been drying out and tilting sideways, what is happening and how can I fix it??

i would repot and remove the top dressing, stones are known to hold moisture in the soil and cause rot even after one watering. the roots are also likely partially dead from the drought, so rot is more likely especially if it’s in a denser soil. haworthia are very hardy so it will likely be fine as long as you watch closely so it doesn’t rot

do you have any soil recommendations I can find on amazon to repot it? I tried researching thru the reviews but it’s hard to make a decision since there are so many brands.. also can I use the same plastic pot after I remove everything or should I place it in a different one?
