Aphelandra s. 'Dania'
Aphelandra squarrosa ‘Dania’ (Zebra Plant) — a compact, showy houseplant with glossy deep-green leaves boldly striped in creamy white. ‘Dania’ stays petite compared to species types and can produce striking yellow bracts with tubular flowers that persist for weeks in good light and humidity.
Key features
Compact habit: typically 12–24 in. tall and wide; ideal for shelves and tabletops.
Signature foliage: dark green, shiny leaves with pronounced white venation (“zebra” pattern).
Seasonal bloom: yellow bracts/flowers; individual displays often last up to ~6 weeks.
Light & water: thrives in bright, indirect light; keep soil evenly moist (not soggy).
Humidity lover: prefers warm temps and higher humidity; use a well-draining, peat-based mix.
Origin: native to Brazil’s Atlantic Forest; usually flowers more readily in high light, high humidity conditions.
