Commonly known as the Calathea ‘Beauty Star’, or Zebra Plant, this fast-growing member of the prayer family is native to the rainforests of Brazil and South America. With its breathtaking, broad, striped, green and cream variegated leaves, the Calathea Vittata will bring a splash of vibrant greenery into your space!
Being that it’s from a tropical environment, it thrives in warm temperatures, consistently moist soil, high humidity, low to indirect bright light and will grow up to 2 to 3 ft. tall indoors. This makes them great to place on a desktop, bookcase, cubby or small nook in your home that is well-lit, but doesn’t get direct light.
Over time this plant may drop some leaves, but don’t be alarmed, this is just a natural occurrence in the plant’s life cycle.
