Botanical name: Aphelandra squarrosa ‘Dania’
Also known as: Zebra Plant

Zebra Plant Dania is known for its bold, glossy leaves marked with striking white veins that resemble zebra stripes. Native to Brazil, this tropical stunner is admired for its decorative foliage and occasional cone-shaped yellow flower spikes, adding a burst of color when the conditions are just right.

☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant leaf contrast. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the foliage.

💧 Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Use well-draining soil and reduce watering frequency slightly in cooler months.

🌫️ Humidity: Loves high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier for best results.

📏 Size: Typically grows 1 to 2 feet tall with a compact, bushy form indoors.

🐾 Pet-friendly?: ❌ Not pet-friendly

🪴 Where It Looks Best: Tabletops, bright bathroom counters, grouped with other tropicals on a shelf or accent table.

💡 Pro Tip: If the leaves begin to wilt or curl inward, it’s often a sign of low humidity. Boost moisture levels and watch it perk back up.
