įlowering: The Zebra plant produces purple or white inconspicuous flowers which are unlikely to appear indoors.
It's a clump forming plant that produces long stalks (up to 1 metre tall) and the leaves (15 inches or more in length) sit at the top. The underside of the leaves are purple and not always visible because leaves grow horizontally (although some will curve or grow more upright). This variety has velvety patterned ovate leaves which are light green in color with darker green stripes, like Zebra stripes.
How it looks: Just like all others from the Maranta group and Calathea genus, it's grown for its striking leaves.
It's sometimes named prayer plant when sold at garden stores and its common name (Zebra) is also given to the Aphelandra squarrosa.īeing a tropical plant native to Brazil the Calathea does require a warm and moist environment which encourages the foliage to thrive and look its best. The formal dining area is adjacent to the home’s study, which offers plenty of built-in shelving space, and, located in its own separate room, the kitchen is large and spacious and features eye-catching black and white harlequin tiling, along with a butcher block-topped island and a pressed tin ceiling detail.The Zebra plant is from the same family (marantaceae) as the popular indoor prayer plant and has many similarities, although the Calathea zebrina grows taller and can be slightly more difficult to grow. The living room features a stately fireplace and an entrancing wall of glass that frames lovely views of Beverly Hills and the downtown skyline, while a nearby family room sports a built-in entertainment unit. The house’s tall, cathedral ceilings are dramatically accented with dark-stained and delicately embellished beams that strike a sharp contrast to the cream-colored walls. Sited on a grassy, 1.43-acre lot dotted with lush palm trees, the one-story sprawler packs in four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms into a roomy, but well short of conspicuously large, 4,770 square feet. Fun fact: Bullard’s work on Tieg’s Bel Air property helped launch him into designer superstardom, and he later went on to work with showbiz and pop culture power players like Cher, Kylie Jenner and Elton John. Originally constructed as a plain, yet good-boned 1950s ranch house, the home was transformed into the tropical-themed extravaganza by flamboyant British interior-designer-to-the-stars, Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Plus, A-lister filmmakers like Michael Bay and Triple A-lister entertainers Jay Z and Beyoncé and live in the immediate vicinity.
ZEBRA 2 TROPICAL HOUSE SERIES
Late media titan Jerry Perenchio’s epic estate Chartwell, featured in the 1960 series “The Beverly Hillbillies” and sold last year for $150 million to Lachlan Murdoch, is right next door. And, though it took several attempts, it’s not too surprising she managed to turn such a large profit on the sale the estate is, after all, located in a particularly ritzy part of the neighborhood.
ZEBRA 2 TROPICAL HOUSE FULL
Despite the fact that the model didn’t get the full $18.5 million that she was hoping for this time around, Tiegs still ended up walking away from the deal with a small fortune - she bought the property in 1996 for $2.5 million. It reemerged again in 2015 with a notably higher asking price of $15 million, but idled without any serious buyers for the better part of a year. The 1970s poster queen‘s dreamy spread was initially and briefly listed in 2013 for for $12 million. Having floated her photogenic Balinese-style home on the market three times over the last seven years, most recently last September with an in-the-rearview-mirror much-too-hopeful price tag of $18.5 million, the pop culture icon has finally sold the Bel Air estate at the steeply discounted price of $14.075 million. Looks like third time was the charm for Cheryl Tiegs.
