    Noooooo!!! Don't throw her away. She's just stressed from the repot. Give her a few more days or even weeks and she should bounce back. She looks great other then shocked.

    That’s a zebra!!! I bought one 2 weeks ago. She’s most likely stressed. But I would also check 1. The type of soil used 2. Hopefully you didn’t add fertilizer too early 3. Enough light? You can also run it through the AI doctor in this app and see if it has suggestions, but again if this was recent, she just might be stressed

      I did add fertilizer silica , foliage syrup and the other vitamin lol either way water of course after I repotted her in chunky soil more aroid like so should I leave her under the grow lights and mister? Or cover her with a plastic baggie and put her in the corner

      I personally think you did a lot. I’m a newbie here but of ALL the plants Ive repotted (and I repotted a lot). They advise against fertilizer too early. Give the plant a chance to acclimatize to the new soli/environment and then you can gradually (and slowly) add nutrients. Again if you have the full version of planta (or maybe chatgpt) tell them what you did and take a picture, it will let you know the best next steps

    One more note. There was one night I came down and the leaves were drooping like yours (probably not as withered). When I checked it said ā€œunder-wateredā€. I added some water, and when I got up the next day she perked right up. When I entered her in Planta it registered that I watered it that day and I waited to long for the next watering. We’re back on track now

    I ran it through my AI (I hope you don’t mind) and this is what it said - My biggest concern You probably did a little too much all at once. Immediately after repotting, the plant's roots are stressed. Adding multiple supplements (fertilizer, vitamins, silica) isn't necessarily harmful, but it also isn't what the plant needs most right now. After a repot, the priorities are simply: moisture warmth humidity time What I'd do from this point 1. Leave it alone for 5–7 days. This is honestly the hardest but most important part. Don't keep adjusting it or checking the roots. 2. Don't fertilize again for 3–4 weeks. The roots need time to recover before they're asked to support new growth. 3. Keep the soil lightly moist—not soggy. Stick a finger about an inch into the soil. If it's still damp, don't water. 4. Give it bright, indirect light. No direct afternoon sun while it's recovering. 5. Increase humidity. Instead of misting constantly, I'd rather you: place it near a humidifier, or loosely cover it with a clear plastic bag for a few days (don't let the bag touch the leaves and open it daily for fresh air). A humidity dome can really help Zebra Plants recover from repotting. What to expect Over the next week you might see: Leaves remain droopy for several days. āœ”ļø Normal. One or two older leaves yellow. āœ”ļø Also normal. New growth stays upright. āœ”ļø Excellent sign. If instead you notice: the drooping gets dramatically worse every day, stems become soft or mushy, or the soil stays wet for a week, then I'd start thinking about root issues. My overall assessment I'd rate it about a 7.5–8/10 right now. It's definitely stressed, but I don't think it's in serious trouble based on this photo. Zebra Plants often look like they've completely given up after being repotted, then perk back up over the next week or two. One question: when you repotted it, did you have to break up or untangle the root ball much, or did you mostly transfer it into the new pot with minimal disturbance? That will give me a much better idea of how much transplant shock to expect.
