How to Care for the Plant

Water
Zebra plants prefer a consistently moist soil, which may take a bit of finesse, as over-watering can cause the leaves to wilt. Its recommended that you water your Zebra plant to saturation every few weeks (or as you observe the soil drying out), allowing the water to completely penetrate the soil until it runs out of your container's drainage holes. Your water temperature should be slightly lukewarm so it mimics the variables of a tropical rainstorm.
Fertilizer
The use of fertilizer can greatly benefit the Zebra plant's growth, especially when it comes to its ability to flower. During its peak growth season (typically spring and early summer), the Zebra plant should be fed every one to two weeks using a fertilizer that is well-suited to both foliage and flowers.
Sunlight
Full sun, partial shade.
