Hi there!

First time posting here! So I have a Zebra plant that I bought i’ve kept alive since 2020 (he was my first plant). A few months ago i repotted the plant and didn’t secure his roots enough into the soil. I am using succulent soil. About a week or two after replanting, he started to turn brown and leaves were dying. When I noticed this, I resecured his roots in the soil. It’s been a few months and his leaves are returning back to green but some seem to not be growing or turning green. Does anyone have any suggestions? His name is Jimmifer :) Thanks!

I would take it out again and check the root system, it could be damaged from repotting and that’s why it’s not clear what is going on but other than that just trim the dead pieces off and give it time and Jimmifer bounce back!
