Aphelandra squarrosa 'Zebra Plant'

Aphelandra squarrosa, aka the Zebra Plant, is one of the more difficult houseplants to care for. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible! You’ll need to give it a bit more love than other easier types. But with that devotion comes true reward.Zebra plants thrive when given bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate a bit of shade, it won’t flower as often or as long if it’s not given enough light. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch your plant’s leaves.The perfect temperature for growing your zebra plant is between 65-80 degrees. Happily, this coincides with most people’s preferred indoor temperature range! Fertilize 1-2 times per month during the growing season.  Never allow your zebra plant to spend long in temperatures below 55 degrees. It can cause damage to the plant’s beautiful foliage. Sensitive to over and under watering, zebra plants can be a smidge tricky to maintain. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the active growing season, and stay watchful. In
