Aphelandra Squarrosa Snow White – A Stunning Zebra Plant with Bold Variegation
Aphelandra Squarrosa Snow White, also known as the Variegated Zebra Plant, is an eye-catching tropical houseplant celebrated for its dramatic, high-contrast foliage. With its deep green leaves marked by thick, white veins, this plant adds instant sophistication to any indoor garden.
Striking Foliage That Steals the Spotlight

- Produces bright yellow, cone-shaped flowers under optimal conditions, adding extra visual interest.
The Ultimate Care Guide for Long-Lasting Beauty
- Light Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
- Watering Needs: Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy—it is sensitive to drought.
- Humidity Levels: Requires high humidity; use a humidifier or mist regularly.
- Ideal Soil Mix: Prefers a peat-based, well-draining mix with perlite for aeration.
- Fertilization Routine: Feed every 4 weeks during the growing season for vibrant foliage and strong root development.
Propagation Techniques: Expanding Your Collection
- Stem Cutting in Water:
- Cut a healthy stem segment with at least two leaves and a node.
- Place in filtered water, changing it every few days.
- Transfer to soil when roots are at least 2 inches long.
- Propagation in Soil:
- Take a cutting with a node, dip it in rooting hormone, and plant in moist, well-draining soil.
- Cover with a humidity dome or plastic bag to encourage faster rooting.
Common Problems & How to Solve Them
- Wilting Leaves? Likely due to low humidity or underwatering—increase moisture levels.
- Leaf Browning? Can be caused by fluoride in tap water—use distilled or filtered water.
- Yellow Leaves? Overwatering is the main culprit—ensure proper drainage.
With its bold foliage, striking variegation, and unique flowering potential, Aphelandra Squarrosa Snow White is a showstopper for any indoor plant enthusiast.
