CALATHEA ZEBRINA

Calathea zebrina are famous for their uniquely striped foliage, giving rise to the common name zebra plant. Similar to its popular cousin—the prayer plant—zebra plant leaves are bright green with dark green stripes. Foliage color isn’t the only thing these tropical houseplants have in common, as both plants are known to raise or fold their leaves at night. Calathea zebrina grows up to three feet tall, with leaves reaching to two feet long.
