Calathea Freddie Green - 5" Pot

Goeppertia concinna 'Freddie', sold as Calathea Freddie, is a graceful prayer plant with slender, elongated light-green leaves marked by fine, alternating dark-green zebra stripes. Its airy, feathery clumps bring soft texture and movement, folding upward at night like other Goeppertia. Native to Brazil, it is considered one of the easier calatheas, tolerating typical indoor conditions a little better than the fussier variegated types. It still appreciates warmth, humidity and soft water for the lushest growth. In Indian homes it makes a fresh, elegant foliage plant for shaded shelves and tabletops. Pet-safe and non-toxic, it is a lovely, lower-fuss choice for calathea lovers.
