Zebra Plant

Aphelandra squarrosa is a tropical evergreen shrub from Brazil's Atlantic Forest, notable for its striking foliage featuring dark green leaves with bold white or silvery veins that create a zebra-like pattern. It grows upright with a bushy habit, typically reaching 1-2 feet indoors, and produces showy yellow flower spikes under ideal conditions. While primarily grown for its ornamental leaves, it occasionally blooms with tubular flowers surrounded by bright yellow bracts when provided with adequate light.
