The Calathea ‘Vittata’ commonly known as the ‘prayer plant,’ is a stunning tropical plant that is native to South America. This plant is highly sought after for its unique and striking foliage, making it a popular choice for an indoor plant.
The leaves of Calathea ‘Vittata’ are elongated and oval-shaped. The upper side of the leaves is a beautiful shade of green, and are also adorned with intricate patterns of white stripes that give the plant a striking appearance.
