Goeppertia zebrina has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

[5][6] The Latin specific epithet zebrina means "with stripes like a zebra".

It is tender, with a minimum temperature of 16 °C (61 °F) required, and in temperate areas is cultivated indoors as a houseplant.

Nutrition can be given every other week during the growing season from spring to fall, but no supplement during the winter.

To give the blades a pleasant humidity, it can be showered with lukewarm water as often as possible.
