What is the Zebra plant?
Zebra plant is an ornamental plant originating from Brazil. Plants of zebras sold as houseplants have been strongly bred and are somewhat different from their wild relatives and grow like low houseplants rather than woody shrubs. These tropical plants can be grown in homes, greenhouses and gardens in warm areas of the world. They can be purchased in kindergartens and through companies with online tropical plants catalogs. Gardeners can also apply for cuts and cultivate them to grow new plants.
These plants are related to acanthus. They are also known as Aphelandras, after their name, Aphelandra . They have distinctive green and white striped leaves and produce yellow, pointed flowers. However, plants are revived about flowering conditions, and sometimes the Zebra plant never produces flowers or flowers once and never again. They also prefer clear, indirect light. In the interior, these conditions can often be found near the window and people can spray plants ifThe internal humidity is not high enough. It is important to maintain the Zebra plant from the dives and prevent the soil from drying out. The captured mixtures designed to maintain moisture are recommended and people should water with lukewarm water to prevent shocking roots.
People living in USDA 10 and 11 zones can try to grow plants in the outdoor garden. As with indoor plants, outdoor plants require heat, moisture and bright light without being in direct contact with sunlight. They grow well with other tropical plants and can make visually noticeable ornaments in the tropical garden. Some gardeners have a better success with container gardening, keeping plants in the greenhouse environment for part of the year, and then move them outdoors after a warmer season of the year.
One zebrost plant has blossomed, the flower trunk should be cropped and some of the leaves. Period of colder temperature with permanent inBy any moisture, the plant causes the plant to dormancy, allowing it to store energy for further flowering. After several months in these conditions, the plant can be brought to a warmer area to encourage it to flowering. Some experiments and mistakes may be required to make the zebra plant proportionate to flowering, because each plant has a slightly different needs. Cropped leaves can be used to start cuts for growing other plants if the gardener wants to cultivate more.
