Aphelandra Squarrosa is evergreen eye-catching houseplant with dark large glossy leaf plates which can be prickly or smooth, with wide central and lateral veins, having a cream, white or silver color. Such an indoor plant is valuable not only because it has large beautiful leaf plates, but also because it has a very spectacular and long-lasting blooming. It can fill the house with positive energy, which improves mood and removes stress after hard working day. It grows best in bright spots with no direct sunlight. It can tolerate partial shade, but the brightest color of the leaves will appear in bright diffused sunlight. Water the plant with approximately 1/2 glass of room temperature water when the top few inches of soil seem to be slightly damp to the touch (about once a week depending on the growing conditions). Don’t let the plant sit in soggy soil. Aphelandra Squarrosa is shipped in 4” pot. The plant prefers high level of air humidity. Aphelandra Squarrosa must be watered systematically, and moistened with a sprayer. It doesn’t stand drafts, which have negative effect on the plant. Feed the plant with a mineral complex fertilizer for flowering houseplants starting from spring till it blooms out twice a month. The height of the plant shipped varies from 12” to 14” which is measured from the bottom of the pot to the very top of the plant. The width of the plant is between 10” to 12”. The repotting of the plant is made once in a few years in the early spring, since the soil can lose all its useful properties during this time. The pot should be just a little bigger. Your plant may look little different from the advertised; however, be assured, we handpicked our plants to meet your expectations.
