Light: Zebra plants prefer bright, filtered light, but too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves. Avoid placing the plant in too much shade, as this can prevent it from blooming.
Water: Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings, and saturate the soil every few weeks with lukewarm water. If the leaves start to drop or the tips wilt, the plant might be over or underwatered, or the air might be too dry.
Humidity: Zebra plants prefer high humidity levels, ideally between 50% and 60%, but can tolerate normal room humidity between 30-40%. To increase humidity, you can place a tray of pebbles under the plant's saucer, use a humidifier, or cover the pot with a plastic bag to create a greenhouse effect. Be sure to open the bag daily for fresh air and check the soil moisture.
Temperature: Zebra plants prefer temperatures between 65°F and 75°F, and should be kept away from drafty areas or heating and cooling vents.
Soil: Zebra plants prefer an all-purpose potting mixture with good drainage.
Fertilizing: During the spring and early summer, you can apply a water-soluble fertilizer formulated for flowers and foliage every other week.
Repotting: You can repot your zebra plant every year, ideally in the springtime.
Pests: Keep an eye out for pests
