Zebra Plant

bright indirect light (3-6 feet from a south or west window, or right next to an east window. Under a grow light, 6-10 inches away works well) to partial sun. Tolerates a wide range of light levels - from shade to full sun (6 or more hours of sun hitting the leaves per day. South-facing window, no obstructions. Under grow lights, keep them 4-8 inches away for 12-14 hours) - though very bright light deepens the bronze coloration. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun (right in the window where sun actually hits the leaves. A strong grow light 4-6 inches away can substitute), which can scorch leaves.

Moderate to high humidity (60-80%. Group your plants together, set them on a pebble tray with water, or run a humidifier nearby) (50%+) preferred. Can tolerate drier indoor conditions better than many tropical plants, but brown tips indicate the air is too dry.

Well-draining, slightly acidic bromeliad mix; a blend of vermiculite, perlite, and Canadian peat is ideal. Can also be mounted epiphytically on cork or tree fern.

Stagnant water in the central cup can breed mosquitoes and harbor scale insects - flush the cup regularly. Root rot from waterlogged soil is the primary disease concern. Mealybugs may appear at leaf bases.
