So, I got a plant. NO idea what its name is to learn to care for it. It is small, one inch leaves. White and Silver Stripes on top and is burgandy on the undersides of each leaf. I thought it was a Wondering Jew or Zebra. But its care guide made the leaves on the bottom of the plant turn brown and shrivel up.
Does anyone know what its name might be? If so, how to care for it?
Thanks
My no-name plant has silver and white stripes on top and burgandy under the leaf?
It really sounds like a wandering jew plant
generic plant tags are notorious for bad info
when the plant has too little light( or too much or too little water)
it will lose its oldest leaves and those are the ones you describe
morning sun
water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry
do not let it stand in water
fertilize monthly
pinch the tips of the trailing stems to encourage branching
here is a care link

Reply:Sounds like a Rheo plant. Look a bit like Wandering jew, but grow upright not running. There is a variety called 'tickled pink' that is as you describe.
Reply:It could be a cordyline.If it is a succulent of some kind then it doesn't need much water. It may have been overwatered.
