Calathea Freddie Add a touch of tropical artistry to your indoor space with Calathea Freddie (Goeppertia concinna 'Freddie'), a striking prayer plant known for its long, feather-like leaves painted in alternating light and dark green zebra stripes.
Like all prayer plants, its leaves gracefully fold up at night and open during the day, creating a living display of movement. Non-toxic and air-purifying, it's a perfect choice for homes with pets or children, bringing lively pattern and subtle elegance to shelves, tables, or low-light corners.

Care Tips (Beginner-Friendly) Light Prefers medium to bright indirect light. Ideal near north- or east-facing windows; tolerates lower light but grows slower. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Soil Use loose, well-draining houseplant mix (add perlite or orchid bark for aeration). Prefers slightly acidic soil.
Watering Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy water when top 2-3 cm feels dry. Use filtered or distilled water to avoid tip browning from tap minerals.
Fertilizer Apply diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring-summer growing season. Skip in winter.
Humidity Tip Loves high humidity (60%+); mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier perfect for Hong Kong bathrooms or kitchens.
