Hello: My plant is brown in spots and purple in others. I have it on a plant shelf where it gets morning direct sun and afternoon indirect sun. Does anyone have any words of wisdom - it looks terrible? Should I cut it back and start again? Thank you.

I HAVE MY ZEBRINA INCH PLANT IN GREENHOUSE TO OVERWINTER.
SOUNDS LIKE THOSE SPOTS MAY BE A FUNGUS. TRY SPRAYING WITH A GOOD FUNGICIDE. IF THIS DOES NOT IMPROVE IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS, CUT PLANT BACK DRASTICALLY, REMOVE ROOTS TO FRESH POTING SOIL. THE FUNGUS IS ALSO IN YOUR SOIL.
IT IS SO HARD TO RID A PLANT OF FUNGI. BE PATIENT AND TRY TO SAVE YOUR MATURE PLANT BY REMOVING THOSE LEAVES WITH SPOTS AND REPOT IN GOOD SOIL.
CHECK WITH LOCAL NURSERY EXPERT FOR YOUR LIGHT AND WATER NEEDS FOR YOUR ZONE.
GOOD SUCCESS WITH YOUR SICK ZEBRINA INCH PLANT!
