Aphelandra Curly White is a striking houseplant with green leaves and white markings that curl up at the edges. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Aphelandra Curly White healthy and thriving:

1. Light: Aphelandra Curly White prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but too much direct sunlight can damage the leaves.

2. Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not let the soil completely dry out between watering, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.

3. Humidity: Aphelandra Curly White loves high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant or by placing a tray of water near the plant. You can also mist the leaves regularly to help increase humidity.

4. Temperature: Aphelandra Curly White prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep the plant away from drafts and cold windows.

5. Fertilizer: You can fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Do not fertilize during the dormant season (fall and winter).

6. Pruning: You can prune the plant to control its size and shape or to remove any damaged or yellowing leaves. This will also help promote new growth.

7. Repotting: Aphelandra Curly White should be repotted every one to two years. Use a well-draining soil mix and a pot that is one size larger than the current pot.

8. Pests: Aphelandra Curly White can be prone to mealybugs and spider mites. Inspect the plant regularly and treat any pests promptly with an appropriate insecticide.

9. Soil: Aphelandra Curly White prefers a well-draining soil mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil to create a soil mix that is well-draining and nutrient-rich.

Following these care tips will help your Aphelandra Curly White thrive and stay healthy. With its unique and eye-catching foliage, it is sure to be a beautiful addition to your indoor garden.
