Calathea Zebrina (Goeppertia zebrina), the Zebra Plant, is a classic prayer plant grown for its large, soft, velvety leaves marked with bold alternating bands of light and deep green, resembling zebra stripes. The undersides are flushed purple, and the broad foliage gives a plush, tropical look. Like other calatheas it raises and folds its leaves at night. It thrives in warm, humid, medium-light conditions with steadily moist soil. Non-toxic to pets, it is safe around cats and dogs. Ideal for shaded, humid rooms, Calathea Zebrina adds soft texture and striking pattern to indoor plant collections and styled interiors.

In India keep Zebrina in warm humid shade with filtered or rainwater and high humidity; the velvety leaves resent direct sun and hard tap water, which cause browning.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Calathea Zebrina?
Keep the soil evenly moist, watering when the top just begins to dry. Avoid soggy roots and do not let it dry out fully.
What light does the Zebra Plant need?
Medium to bright indirect light. Direct sun fades the stripes and damages the soft velvety leaves.
Is Calathea Zebrina pet-safe?
Yes. It is non-toxic to cats, dogs and humans, so it is safe for homes with pets and children.
Why are the leaf edges browning?
Usually low humidity or hard tap water. Raise humidity and water with filtered or rainwater to prevent it.
How do I propagate it?
Divide the clump at repotting time; it does not grow from leaf or stem cuttings.
When should I repot it?
Repot every 1-2 years in spring with a light, moisture-retentive mix, handling roots carefully.
Does it flower indoors?
It rarely blooms indoors and is grown for its striking velvety foliage.
Can I grow it outdoors in India?
Only in deep, humid shade; in most Indian climates it is best as an indoor plant.
Why are the leaves curling?
Curling signals underwatering, low humidity or cold drafts. Keep it evenly moist, warm and humid.
How should I fertilize it?
Feed a diluted balanced fertilizer once a month in the growing season and stop feeding in winter.
