The Zebra Plant is a beautiful houseplant. We appreciate it for its very dark foliage with white veins. In its natural habitat, it can reach up to 2m in height. Cultivated as a houseplant, it reaches an average of 30 to 40 cm. When it receives optimal growing conditions, a magnificent apical flowering in a golden yellow spike appears towards the end of summer. A bit dramatic, the leaves may droop to let you know she's thirsty. However, we recommend opting for regular watering to avoid this phenomenon. The plant uses unnecessary energy lowering and raising its leaves. This movement can also weaken its stem and cause leaf loss.
