Description

Calathea Zebrina is a popular houseplant that is known for its unique striped foliage. The leaves are dark green with light green stripes, and they have a velvety texture. Calathea Zebrina is a member of the Marantaceae family, which also includes prayer plants.

Calathea Zebrina is native to Brazil, where it grows in tropical rainforests. It prefers bright, indirect light, but it can also tolerate some direct sunlight. The plant prefers high humidity, so it is important to mist the leaves regularly or place the plant in a humid environment. Calathea Zebrina is also sensitive to overwatering, so it is important to water the plant only when the soil is dry to the touch.

Calathea Zebrina is a relatively easy plant to care for, but it can be sensitive to changes in its environment. If the plant is not getting enough light, the leaves will start to lose their stripes. If the plant is not getting enough humidity, the leaves will start to curl.

With proper care, Calathea Zebrina can thrive for many years. It is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant that is sure to add a touch of tropical elegance to any home.
