Calatheas belong to a genus of neotropical rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plants, known for their striking foliage patterns and unique leaf movements. These plants are native to the tropical regions of the Americas, primarily found in Central and South America.
Water: Calathea Zebrina likes small amounts of water on a regular basis so it's best to check his soil weekly to make sure it doesn't dry out too much.
Light: A medium light will be perfect for Calathea Zebrina. If it is placed in a bright room, keep it away from any windows as the bright sun will burn his leaves.
Basic Care: Calathea Zebrina prefers to sit in medium to bright, indirect light. Make sure to never put them in direct sunlight, it will burn their leaves. Also, use filtered water or rainwater for these plants, and water them so that the soil stays slightly moist.
One remarkable characteristic of Calatheas is their ability to move their leaves in response to changes in light and darkness. This phenomenon, known as nyctinasty, involves the leaves opening and closing in a rhythmic pattern over the course of the day. This movement is thought to help the plant optimize its exposure to sunlight and protect itself from excessive moisture loss during the night. Another noteworthy aspect of Calatheas is their reputation as pet-friendly plants. While many houseplants can be toxic to pets if ingested, Calatheas are generally considered safe for cats, dogs, and other pets. However, it's always wise to monitor pets around plants and to consult with a veterinarian if you have any concerns about potential toxicity.
