Zebra plant is distinguished by its stiff, opaque, linear leaves formed in a rosette. The leaves, generally no longer than 4-8 inches (10-20 cm) in length, have a unique display of white spots that can appear as bands on the underside. Unlike its close relatives, zebra plant's leaves have smooth upper surfaces with no markings, aiding in its identification.
