Growing Calathea (Zebra Plant): Striking Foliage for Humid Interiors

Growing Calathea (Zebra Plant): Striking Foliage for Humid Interiors

Calathea, known as Zebra Plant, shows its best foliage color in bright, indirect light. High humidity is essential. Keep potting mix evenly moist.

Increasing Humidity

Most houseplants originate in tropical regions with high humidity. Indoor heating creates dry air. Best solution: run a humidifier nearby. Alternatively, set pots on trays of pebbles with water just below the pebble tops (don't let pots sit in water). Refill often. Commercial humidity trays work similarly.
