    I would trim off the dead and put it in direct sun and wait about 2 weeks to water and see what it does if it’s still dying I would dig it up and see what’s going on in the roots :)

    I have this plant and I’ve noticed if it’s getting too much water it gets soft how do the leaves feel near the base? I only water about every 3 weeks.

      the leaves are a little soft, it sounds like i may have been overwatering, thank you!

    This looks to be a haworthia zebra plant. Soil should be totally dry between waterings. It looks overwatered. But I disagree with placing it in direct sun. Be careful. Direct morning sun is fine but zebras don’t like direct sun all day. Also when it is time to water, add water until it comes out the drain.

    When watering, be careful not to get any water where its leaves meet; it can get stuck there and stagnate. If you splash in there, dry it with a paper towel; it's fine as long as it doesn't stay wet. Otherwise you can expect it to occasionally lose a leaf at the bottom; they're the oldest and will eventually age out
