Item Lore

The Zebra Plant, *Aphelandra squarrosa*, is prized by indoor gardeners for its striking, dark green foliage patterned with distinct, creamy white veins. Native to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, it remains a popular choice for collectors who enjoy the challenge of maintaining the specific humidity and light requirements necessary to coax out its characteristic yellow, cone-shaped bracts.
