FunFoliage Aphelandra Zebra Plant

This plant prefers bright, indirect light. While it loves a warm spot, avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade that signature white veining.

It is moderately challenging. The Zebra Plant is a tropical species that requires consistent humidity and evenly moist soil, so it is best suited for someone who is comfortable monitoring their plant's water needs regularly.

The Zebra Plant produces a unique, cone-shaped yellow bract that can last for several weeks. Once the bloom fades, you can prune the stalk back to encourage the plant to focus its energy on new foliage growth.

Not necessarily. It is best to let the plant acclimate to your home's environment for a few weeks before repotting. Once you notice roots growing out of the drainage holes, you can move it into a slightly larger container with well-draining potting mix.

No, the Aphelandra squarrosa is considered toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to display this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
