It stands out with its unique striped pattern – its bright green, elongated leaves are decorated with fine, parallel, and symmetrical cream-white or light green lines that literally look like they were painted with a fine brush. Like other plants in the Marantaceae family, this calathea is also one of the \"praying plants\" – in the evenings, as darkness approaches, it raises its colorful leaves upright, and in the morning, it gracefully unfolds them towards the light again. It is an air-purifying, dynamic, and visually very clean \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"608\"\u003ehouseplant\u003c\/b\u003e that will add a sophisticated, modern, and extremely aesthetic natural accent to any \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"631\"\u003einterior\u003c\/b\u003e.

It is important to know nature’s secrets: even the most experienced growers sometimes see the tips of calathea leaves dry out – this is normal and most often indicates insufficient air humidity or the use of tap water! You can carefully trim the brown tips with scissors, following the natural shape of the leaf to restore its aesthetic appearance, but do not cut into living tissue. Also, don’t be alarmed if the plant raises its leaves upright in the evenings – this is not a sign of thirst but a natural movement. When repotting, be sure to use airy, nutrient-rich, and moisture-retentive houseplant soil (peat-based with generously added perlite) and don’t forget excellent drainage at the bottom of the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augi-Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54394785988937,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/FullSizeRender_d50ceb45-49d5-41a4-9e7f-5f93c8359c71.heic?v=1778849717","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/calathea-vittata","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
