How to Get a Zebra Plant to Flower

Can you please help me with this plant ? I got it 2 years ago, it was only one stem and had a beautiful yellow flower, it doubled it size but never flowered again. I would like to know the name and how to care for it

Hi Hermine,

Your plant looks like a Zebra Plant, also called an  Aphelandra. Here is a picture of one with flowers.

Zebra plants require very bright indirect light but no direct sun,  if you want them to bloom. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and never allow the soil to totally dry out. Feed a Zebra plant weekly in the spring and summer with a basic houseplant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength. You can read all my care tips for a Zebra plant in the Popular Houseplant section of the website.
