Aphelandra ‘Snow White’

Aphelandra ‘Snow White’

Aphelandra ‘Snow White’ is a visually striking tropical foliage plant prized for its bold variegation and dramatic leaf patterning. The large, glossy leaves feature prominent white veining and creamy variegation that contrasts sharply against deep green foliage, giving the plant a crisp, high-impact appearance. Its upright growth habit and dense form make it an eye-catching statement plant for bright indoor spaces.

A cultivated variety of Aphelandra squarrosa, commonly known as the zebra plant, ‘Snow White’ originates from tropical forest environments where warmth and humidity are consistent. While undeniably beautiful, this plant is more particular about its care than many common houseplants. When provided with the right conditions, it rewards attentive care with vibrant foliage and strong visual presence.

Sun Requirements ▾

Bright, indirect light is ideal for Aphelandra ‘Snow White’. Adequate light is important to maintain strong variegation and leaf contrast, but direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the foliage. Low light conditions may result in slower growth and diminished patterning. A bright room with filtered light provides the best balance for healthy growth.

Watering Instructions ▾

Watering should be done when the top portion of the soil begins to dry, while ensuring the root system does not dry out completely. Aphelandra ‘Snow White’ prefers evenly moist soil but is sensitive to overwatering. Excess moisture can lead to root rot, while allowing the soil to dry too much may cause leaf drop or browning edges. Watering frequency should be reduced slightly during the winter months when growth slows.

Care Tips ▾

Aphelandra ‘Snow White’ prefers a warm, stable environment with higher humidity and good air circulation. It performs best in a well-draining soil mix designed for tropical foliage plants that retains some moisture without becoming compacted. This plant is sensitive to environmental stress and does not respond well to cold drafts, dry air, or sudden temperature changes. Consistency is key, and it should be placed in a location where conditions remain steady.
