A fast growing plant with bold stripes on green foliage. Calatheas grow and thrive in the sub-flooring of tropical jungles where canopies from larger plants shade it from the harsh rays of the sun. In our experience, we noticed that this Calathea is a tougher plant that can handle some morning sun and lower humidity levels. If you want to get your feet wet with your first prayer plant, then this one is it!
