Also known as: Zebra Plant, Prayer Plant, Leopard Calathea

Calathea Freddie is a graceful tropical houseplant known for its long, light green leaves patterned with soft, dark green stripes that give the foliage a naturally painted look. Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, this prayer plant gently raises and lowers its leaves as light changes throughout the day. It grows best in bright indirect light, warm temperatures, and higher humidity, making it a beautiful choice for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and plant shelves. Its fresh green coloring and flowing foliage bring an easy tropical feel to any indoor space.
