The Calathea Zebrina is one of our bestsellers. Its green velvety leaves with accents catch many eyes and make it really stand out! Its stripes earned it the title Zebra plant!

Calatheas are generally not the easiest plants to care for. They grow on the jungle floor, which brings a few things with it.

Calathea Zebrina likes moist and warm air. In addition, they cannot tolerate direct sunlight (normally the tropical foliage blocks all light rays). So do not place them in the sun, rather at a northern window. Wind and drafts do not occur in the jungle either, so be careful!

When should you repot the Calathea?

It is recommended to repot a Calathea once every two years , or when the pot becomes too small. The best time to do this is in the spring, because the plant can recover more quickly from any damage. If you have just purchased a Calathea, you can also choose to repot the plant immediately after purchase to prevent the houseplant from drying out too quickly.
