information: "Zebra plants" are not really
difficult to grow. Since it is a flowering plant... it will need
bright light from an East, South or West window. Check for water
frequently. These plants can grow quickly during the spring and
summer... so feed monthly. During the winter feed bi-monthly. As
the plant ages it can loose it's lower leaves. To keep a full appearance...
pinch the plant back when it becomes leggy. The cutting can be
rooted in a container of water. |
