# Help!! I got this Zebra succulent like a year ago, and it was fine…

_Posted by Rebecca on 2024-01-07_

Help!! I got this Zebra succulent like a year ago, and it was fine until about a month ago. The ends are turning red, brown, and dying and the baby is turning brown. Anyone know what to do??

Does the pot have drainage holes?

How much direct sun does it get? The ends seem sunburned.

I have it right on the window sill where it gets direct sunlight all day. Should i move it away?

a combination of lots of sun, dry air, and under watering due to the lack of drainage i’m guessing is what’s caused the crispy tips. there are probably some root issues as well if it’s potted without drainage. i would repot to check on the roots and use a succulent soil that’s at least 60-70% grit in a small nursery pot with lots of drainage holes
