The Calathea Zebrina is a tropical houseplant and is also called the living plant. The Calathea owes this nickname to a unique characteristic. The leaves of the Calathea close as soon as it gets dark and as soon as it becomes light again the leaves open again. The Calathea originally comes from the jungles of South America, where the plant is used to high humidity.
You can regularly spray the plant with a plant sprayer. It is best to give the Calathea small amounts of water regularly. Make sure that the potting soil is always slightly moist. In winter you can water the Calathea a little less. As soon as the heating comes on, the air becomes drier. The Calathea is not used to dry air. To prevent the plant from dying, it is important to continue spraying regularly.
The best location for this plant is in partial shade. Place the Calathea in a bright place, but not in direct sunlight.
