Product Info
The Zebra Plant (Aphelandra squarrosa) is a tropical favorite known for its striking dark green leaves with bold white veins and bright yellow flowers when in bloom. It’s a statement plant that thrives with consistent care and humidity.
Light
Bright, indirect light is essential.
Too little light slows growth and reduces flowering, while direct sun can scorch the leaves. Filtered sunlight near a window is ideal.Watering
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil start to dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, while letting the soil dry out completely may lead to leaf drop. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.Benefits of Using a Moisture Meter
A moisture meter helps monitor soil moisture below the surface, preventing overwatering and supporting consistent hydration—especially important for Zebra Plants, which are sensitive to inconsistent watering.
