I would continue to water the plant like you did before you moved. Try to duplicate the previous conditions such as light, water, etc. The plant is probably just adjusting to its new environment. Give it some time and hopefully it will come around.

hi, also i have repotted the plant just before i moved. i think the pot was too big b/c when i had taken the plant from its old pot the roots were small even thought the plant was quite large. i decided the other day that i was going to try to put it in a smaller pot but when i took the plant out, the roots have grown large. i'm assuming that this is maybe also why the plant is not doing so well since it may be using all its energy into the roots instead of the plant itself. would you suggest downsizing the pot anyway?

There is no hope for your zebra plant it is sick maybe because of direct sunlight or maybe because the humidity dropped... But you may try to propagate it first cut about 4-6 inches then place into a glass and wait until it starts to grow roots then plant it.

Bought a Zebra plant just before Christmas of 2004. Plant was doing beautifully when I moved it into the living room where it would get more light. I think it may have gotten too much indirect sun and the edges of the leaves started turning brown.
I moved it back onto my kitchen table where it gets artificial light directly overhead.
This plant is in a special pot where the plant can get as much water as it needs and is not watered from the top. Looking at the plant this morning I noticed that there is new growth at the top.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
