Zebra Houseplant

A tropical plant from Brazil, Zebra plant is widely admired and prized for its gorgeous foliage and showy flowers. Zebra plant's large, pointed leaves are a glossy dark green with bright silvery veins that create a striped appearance, hence the name! When the plant flowers, usually in the late summer or autumn, it bears a tall golden flower bract that lasts for up to six weeks. Zebra plant doesn't ask for much: just place it in bright, indirect light; water regularly with lukewarm water to keep soil temperature elevated, never allowing the soil to dry out; and mist frequently during the growing season, and you'll have a happy plant.

The benefits of zebra plants don't stop at their beauty. Houseplants increase the quality of our lives and are important for our wellbeing. Plants in the home help us breathe easier by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen; increasing humidity, which reduces dry skin, colds, sore throats, and coughs; and by removing toxins to purify the air. Studies show houseplants decrease stress, reduce sickness, boost creativity, and increase focus and productivity.
