Zebra Plant 'Snow Queen'

$9.99
Title

Unlike a traditional zebra plant, which has dark green leaves with crisp white veins, the 'Snow White/Snow Queen' variant is heavily washed in white. The leaves feature dense white mottling, pale silver stripes, or tiny speckles that create an appearance of being dusted with a heavy layer of fresh snow.

It is a relatively compact cultivar,  producing an exotic, golden-yellow cone or spike-like flower bract that stands straight up from the top of the foliage in the fall.

Common Pests

Spider Mites

Spider Mites

What To Look For: Very fine webbing under leaves or between stems and leaves (especially in dry indoor air). Leaves may appear stippled (tiny yellow or white dots) or dusty; they may turn yellow, brown or drop. When you tap a leaf onto white paper, you might see tiny moving specks. (Often too small to see easily)

How To Treat: Increase humidity around the plant (since mites thrive in dry air). Spray plant thoroughly (both sides of leaves) with insecticidal soap or a miticide/plant-safe oil; repeat every few days. In heavy infestations, consider removing severely affected sections; isolate the plant.
