Calathea zebrine, commonly known as the Zebra plant, is noted for its striking ornamental leaves which feature Zebra-like stripes as suggested by both the specific epithet & the common name. This is a compact, rhizomatous, evergreen perennial that typically grows to 1-3’ tall in containers. Leaves fold together at dusk in a manner somewhat resembling Praying hands, hence the sometimes used common name of prayer plant. Inconspicuous, white to purple flowers bloom in spring on upright stalks, but flowers rarely bloom on indoor plants.
