@babyjabes Welcome to the Greg community! A Zebra plant can become droopy due to several factors, most commonly from overwatering (leading to root rot), underwatering (dry soil), inadequate light (not enough bright, indirect sunlight), low humidity (dry air), extreme temperatures, or pest infestations which can drain the plant's vitality and cause leaves to droop. Other factors to consider: Check the soil before watering; if the top inch is dry, it's time to water, but avoid overwatering which can lead to root rot.
Light:
Provide bright, indirect sunlight; too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
Humidity:
Zebra plants thrive in moderate to high humidity, so consider using a humidifier or grouping plants together to create a humid microclimate.
Temperature:
Maintain a stable room temperature, avoiding extreme hot or cold conditions.
Pests:
Regularly check for pests like aphids, mealybugs, or spider mites which can weaken the plant. Happy Growing!
