The Zebra Plant requires bright, indirect light to thrive. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves.تربة
Aphelandra squarrosa prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.سماد
Feed the Zebra Plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 20-20-20, every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.إعادة السمعة
Repot the Zebra Plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.الانتشار
