Planting Instructions

• Gently remove the Zebra Plant from its nursery container, taking care not to damage the roots.
• Place the plant in the center of the pot and fill in the remaining space with the potting mix, pressing down lightly to secure the plant.
• Ensure that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.

Plant Care

• Zebra Plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a north or east-facing window where they can receive filtered sunlight.
• Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Maintain indoor temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) for optimal growth.
• Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as they can stress the plant.
• Water the Zebra Plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

Caution:

• While Zebra Plants are generally non-toxic to humans, they may cause mild irritation if ingested.
• Keep them out of reach of pets and children as a precaution.
