Calathea ‘Vittata’

£18.99£45.00

The Vittata strikes you with its beautiful pale green stripes that almost give the appearance of being painted on top of a medium green leaf! It grows in an upright, clumping habit.

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.

One of the most intriguing features of Calathea ‘Vittata’ is its ability to “pray.” At night, the leaves of the plant will fold upward, resembling hands in prayer, and then unfurl in the morning. This unique behavior is due to the plant’s natural circadian rhythm and is not a cause for concern.

Calathea vittata is a stunning and unique plant that makes a beautiful addition to any indoor jungle.
