GENERAL INFORMATION

• Calathea zebra plants are natives of Brazil and their bright green leaves can be boldly striped in white, yellow, or pink in a striking feather-like pattern that is sure to catch the eye.
• The older leaves then arc away to make room for new growth.
• As the plant ages, new rosettes form new leaves that add to the lush look of the plant.
• The flowers are insignificant, tiny, and white, they are often hidden beneath the leaves and, for many gardeners, removal of the flower stems is part of their regular zebra plant care so that the plant wastes none of its energy on flowering. 

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• The simplest option is to use an African violet potting mix, or you can make your own blend of one part garden soil, one part sand or perlite, and two parts peat moss or coir.
