Zebra plants thrive in indirect light or partial shade, as they're used to growing under a canopy of trees in warm and humid climates.

Water frequently in small amounts as Zebra plants likes to be moist, but not wet. As it prefers consistent moisture, the plant's soil should never dry out.

Your zebra plant prefers temperatures above 18°C to thrive. Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.

Ideal humidity is over 60%. To increase humidity use a pebble tray (filled with water), combined with grouping the plant with other plants can work well.

Considered non-toxic to pets and humans. Deadhead (or remove) withered flowers after flowering.
