Zebra plants prefer partial sun. Only water it once the soil has fully dried out.

You’re watering too often. Let the soil dry out and then stay dry for a week or two before you water again

Okay. I’ve seen one YouTube who has a shop, explain it like this and it was mighty helpful for me with the explanation.
One of the most important things about your plant is that most ppl underestimate is light. What you may consider bright light may not be that bright.
So, instead, think about the sky. If your plant can see the full sky or the larger part of an open sky, then that’s bright light. If your plant has only a partial view of the sky, it’s low light. So, in short, make sure you’re giving a lot of light to your plant. However, plants usually don’t like a lot of harsh direct sunlight, so don’t keep it in direct light. There are exceptions, of course. Like some desert succulents. They still need to be adjusted, tho.
Also, dont overwater your plants. Stick a finger in it and check. Remember that signs of underwatering and overwatering in plants are very similar.

It is kinda easy to keep this plant healthy, just be careful with watering, usually people tend to overwater it.
