# Hello! I own a zebra plant and lately it hasn’t been doing well.…

_Geplaatst door Sydni op 2025-08-20_

Hello! I own a zebra plant and lately it hasn’t been doing well. Leaves have randomly fallen off with no sign of being dead. Many leaves have these brown tips. One leaf is a super light green. And even after watering, many leaves aren’t perking back up. Lots of problems. Please help!! I love this plant

I don’t have a zebra plant but I’ve run across this in my plant caretaking journey with overwatering. Could this be the culprit? I find that some of my more sensitive plants with less light take longer for the soil to dry out and so need more time between watering.

Perhaps check the roots? In fact, in the beginning I didn’t even know what root rot was I had acquired a very pretty peperomia. I thought I was taking such good care when some leaves started turning pale and yellow and falling. By the time I finally posted for advice and someone told me to check the roots it was too late. But now I know. RIP Peperomia. This is a photo before the fall.

Yellow typically means over watering. The crispy edges may mean low humidity.

Mine is similar. It's them, not us.
