Calathea Zebrina was awarded the Royal Horticulture Society's award of merit for its highly decorative leaves. A native of Brazilian jungles, this plant has been tamed to be a most desirable houseplant; although they are somewhat rare. The leaves, held on tall petioles, are bright green lances with pine green, paired chevron markings marching evenly down the length of the leaf, divided by the pale midrib. Soft and rumply, the leaves are stronger than they look. Undersides of the leaves are lighter green and are usually not all that visible as the leaves grow out horizontally, until the leaves magically rise up and clasp each other in pious prayer before bedtime. This Calathea would be perfect in a brightly lit bathroom or in a plant grouping to provide the humidity it craves.

- Difficulty - Medium (3): Not too difficult to keep happy, but does require some attention.
