Description

Billbergia zebrina is a tropical epiphytic bromeliad known for its unique foliage and beautiful flowers. The elongated, green leaves feature horizontal silver-white stripes, earning it the "zebra" moniker. These leaves form a compact, upright rosette which aids in water collection and storage. This bromeliad can grow up to 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) tall as an epiphyte (on trees) or terrestrial plant. Its bright pink to red bracts gracefully arch outward, while the tubular yellowish-green flowers with blue or violet edges emerge from the bracts.

Environment

Thriving in warm and humid climates, Billbergia zebrina prefers bright indirect light or partial sun and can tolerate some direct sun with minimal watering. Avoid harsh midday exposure and keep the central cup filled with water.

Use a well-draining, airy mix of soil such as orchid bark or bromeliad potting mix.

Light feeding with a diluted bromeliad fertilizer every few weeks is recommended and allow the soil to slightly dry between waterings.

Landscape

Ideal for tropical gardens, hanging baskets, or potted displays.

The easiest to keep alive - Cactus thrive on neglect! Coming from desert climates cactus love sun! However beware of the Indian afternoon sun! Keeping them in extreme heat, especially behind a glass which magnifies the heat can cause the cactus to burn. If you notice the cactus turning brown or yellow on the side facing the sun, try giving it a cooler place to thrive in!

For watering cacti, the golden rule is to make sure the soil is completely dry before watering! This will stop the roots from rotting. It is advised to always use a pot with a drainage hole so that excess water can get drained out. If kept in a sunny area, you will need to water it once every week. If it is in a semi shaded or filtered light area, you might need to water it once in 2 weeks.

Cacti like soil that is well aerated and fast draining. You can fertilise the cactus in the summer months when it is in its growing season. During the winters it is best to cut back on any fertiliser and let the plant rest.
