Calathea zebrina (Zebra Plant) is a striking prayer plant with plush, velvety leaves striped in lime over deep green—bold patterning that pops in bright, gentle light.
Foliage: Soft, velvety oval leaves with vivid “zebra” stripes; purplish undersides.
Movement: Prayer-plant habit—leaves raise at night, lower by day.
Size & habit: Compact clumper; typically 12–24 in tall/wide indoors.
Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent fading and scorch.
Water: Keep evenly moist (not soggy); prefers filtered/distilled or rainwater.
Humidity & temp: Thrives at 60%+ RH and 65–80°F; dry air leads to crispy edges.
Soil & feeding: Light, well-draining mix (potting soil + perlite/bark); feed lightly in spring–summer.
Pet friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
