Aphelandra Squaroza 'Snowflake' Plant | Aphelandra Zebra - 10 cm

The Zebra Plant is a beautiful houseplant. We appreciate it for its very dark foliage with white veins. In its natural habitat, it can reach up to 2 meters in height. Grown as a houseplant, it averages between 30 and 40 cm. When provided with optimal growing conditions, a magnificent golden-yellow spike-shaped apical bloom appears towards the end of summer. The leaves may droop, somewhat dramatically, to indicate that it is thirsty. However, we recommend watering regularly to avoid this phenomenon. The plant uses unnecessary energy lowering and raising its leaves. This movement can also weaken its stem and cause leaf loss.
