Deep, glossy, near-black green leaves are crossed by crisp ivory veins that run out from the midrib in perfectly regular stripes, and the contrast is sharp enough to read from across a room. Then, in late summer and autumn, a mature plant sends up a tall cone of golden yellow bracts from the top of each stem, holding its color for weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp class=\"description-text\"\u003eThis is a rainforest floor plant from Brazil, and it has not compromised much for indoor life. It wants warmth, humidity, and steadily moist soil, and it will tell you loudly when it does not get them. Owners who meet those conditions get one of the most striking foliage plants there is. The ASPCA lists Aphelandra squarrosa as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, so the drama here stays entirely in the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n            \u003ch2 class=\"section-title\"\u003eComplete Care Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"care-guide\"\u003e\n                \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item\"\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-header\"\u003e\n                        \u003cspan\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"accordion-toggle\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content\"\u003e\n                        \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-body\"\u003e\n                            \u003cul class=\"care-list\"\u003e\n                                \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBright, indirect light\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the veining sharp and supports flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                \u003cli\u003eAn east-facing window, or a few feet back from a south or west window, is ideal\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever direct sun\u003c\/strong\u003e, which scorches and curls the glossy leaves quickly\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                \u003cli\u003eToo little light causes leggy stems and washed-out striping\u003c\/li\u003e\n                            \u003c\/ul\u003e\n                        \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item\"\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-header\"\u003e\n                        \u003cspan\u003eWatering Instructions\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"accordion-toggle\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content\"\u003e\n                        \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-body\"\u003e\n                            \u003cul class=\"care-list\"\u003e\n                                \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeep the soil lightly and evenly moist\u003c\/strong\u003e, watering when the top inch feels dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                \u003cli\u003eThis plant tolerates neither drought nor sogginess, so consistency matters more than volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse room-temperature water\u003c\/strong\u003e, as cold water shocks the roots and triggers leaf drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                \u003cli\u003eWater thoroughly until it drains, then empty the saucer completely\u003c\/li\u003e\n                            \u003c\/ul\u003e\n                        \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item\"\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-header\"\u003e\n                        \u003cspan\u003eHumidity \u0026amp;
