  • How to Care for a Zebra Plant

     

    Because they are tropical, Aphelandra zebra plants prefer warm climates and will do well in average household temperatures around 70°F. (20°C.) and around 60°F. (15°C.) at night if they are kept out of drafts. They do need high humidity and setting their pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water or regular misting should be an integral part of how to care for a zebra plant. They may thrive in 40-80 percent humidity, but they don’t like wet feet.

     

    Use potting medium that drains well and keep it moist, not wet.

     

    One of the common problems in Aphelandra zebra plant care is drooping or falling leaves – usually from too much water.

     

    Getting Aphelandra Zebra Plant to Bloom If you want to learn how to get Aphelandra zebra plant to bloom, you must understand the natural rhythm of the plant. If you’re thinking of purchasing a plant, find one whose bracts are just beginning to form. In early winter, your plant will go into semi-dormancy. Growth will be minimal, and fortunately for those of us who live in colder climates, the plant actually likes temperatures a little lower than normal. Don’t let the soil completely dry out, but water a little less frequently. By late winter, you’ll see new growth and should water with a weak fertilizer solution every two weeks. Once side shoots develop and new flower heads can be seen, move your plant to the brightest possible area and water generously.
