Zebra 'Aphelandra'

Botanical Name: Aphelandra squarrosa Common Names: Zebra plant Description: This plant flourishes in abundant, but not direct, light. It does not bloom often, but it can be encouraged to bloom by prolonged daily exposure to light. It is also very sensitive to moisture content; too much or too little water will cause the lower leaves to brown and fall off. It likes to be kept moist, but not wet. On average, it needs frequent, small amounts of water, as opposed to occasional, thorough watering. Native to Brazil.
