Do Zebra plants have naturally droopy/ wrinkly leaves? Ive had it for almost two months and seems healthy and has sprouting new leaves every few weeks. Just curious if this is a sign of over or under watering? Or does it look healthy and normal?
Yup, zebra plants can totally get a little dramatic with their leaves—droopy or wrinkly isn’t uncommon, especially if they’re adjusting to their space. Yours looks really healthy to me, especially since it’s putting out new growth! Just keep an eye on watering and humidity, they can be a little picky about both.
0 Likes Ok thanks! Ya he’s in a north facing window also so maybe not getting enough light??
0 Likes Yeah, that could definitely be part of it—zebra plants like bright, indirect light, and a north window might be a bit too dim long-term. If you can move it to an east or west window (or supplement with a grow light), that might perk it up!
0 Likes I only have window north facing windows unfortunately! I was trying to avoid grow lights but I may look into them. Especially during winter months.

Zebras are thirsty plants, if you keep the soil on the moist side it shouldn’t droop too much. I have a watering bulb in mine and I keep that topped up to make sure it has constant moisture and it is doing great.
0 Likes Everything I read about said it was a lack of water/ humidity. I have pretty dry humidity here and it seems to drink a lot of water. Maybe be the issue
