Calathea Concinna is also called Calathea Freddie, whoever Freddie is. Another nickname is the Zebra Plant, which make sense since its leaves are wildly striped with slashed dark green like tribal face paint on the cool sage green. Bumpy, ovate, with lightly curved pointed tips, the leaves emerge straight up and tightly rolled and then tilt down in an orderly fashion, circling the stems, to show the colors to best advantage. Somehow the leaves all arrange themselves in layers, so you can almost see every leaf at once. Concinna will close its foliage up when it's dark, like all its Prayer Plant kin, and float back down in the morning, resuming its lovely, orderly, graceful shape.

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