Containerized plants will not be as cold hardy as plants that are grown in the ground and should be brought in to protect the roots and soil from freezing if temperatures are to remain below freezing for more than just a brief period.

The Zebra Plant may tolerate some cool direct sunlight for brief periods like very early or very late in the day. The Zebra Plant has earned the Royal Horticulture Society Award of Garden Merit for its easy going yet durable nature. Prefers high humidity levels which may be supplemented when grown indoors by setting it in a saucer fill with rocks and water. This is an easy to grow tropical, naturally evergreen, rhizomatous perennial from southeastern Brazil that prefers an average moist soil rich in organic matter with good drainage as it never wants to remain soggy wet. The Zebra Plant, Goeppertia zebrina previously Calathea zebrinus, adds a delightful tropical look whether it is used as a specimen container plant or as a perennial in shaded gardens and landscapes. The ovate light green tropical foliage is alternately banded with contrasting dark and light green and has a light green midvein and edging.
