Reviving a Leggy, Overwatered Zebra Plant

Can a Zebra Plant Recover from Root Rot?

A zebra plant lost all limbs to rot from overwatering in a small pot. After repotting, it grew a tall stem with two large leaves that are now browning. The owner wants to know if it can be revived or propagated.

Expert Opinion

Nick suspects root damage is severe. Overwatering destroys roots; the plant may not fully recover. Best chance: take a tip cutting from the top, dip in rooting hormone, and root in moist vermiculite. The base may or may not regrow.
