    •   Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' is a tropical foliage plant in the Marantaceae family, native to the rainforests of Brazil. This prayer plant adapts well to indoor life because it evolved on the shaded forest floor, making it suitable for any home or office.

        Long, lance-shaped leaves are the plant's defining visual feature, striped with feathery bands of deep green and soft light green in a bold zebra pattern. The foliage has a glossy surface on top with a pale underside, and it grows upright and compact, staying neat on a shelf or tabletop without sprawling. The tidy growth habit means it fits comfortably in smaller spaces.

        Calathea 'Freddie' is grown primarily for its foliage rather than its flowers, which are modest and infrequent indoors. It actively filters formaldehyde and other toxins from indoor air, releases oxygen at night, and naturally humidifies the surrounding space through transpiration.

        This prayer plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs, so you can display it anywhere without worry. It does well in kitchens and near open shelves where ambient moisture gathers, and grows well under office LEDs for anyone building a low-light desk garden. Rotate it regularly for even growth and keep it away from air conditioning vents and heater airflow.

    •   Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' grows well in bright indirect light and also performs well under office LEDs or lower light conditions, but scorches in direct sun.

        Water it every 7 to 10 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings, and reduce frequency in winter.

        Calathea 'Freddie' does best in a well-draining, moisture-retentive mix of peat or coco coir, perlite, and a small amount of compost.

        It prefers temperatures between 65 and 85°F and should never be exposed to frost or temperatures below 55°F.

        Calathea 'Freddie' is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer.

        It is hardy in USDA zones 10 through 12, where temperatures rarely drop below 30 to 35°F. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, and the warmest parts of southern California, southern Texas, southern Arizona, and Louisiana. In coastal areas of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and southern Nevada, it can grow outdoors in sheltered spots, though gardeners in cooler regions should bring it inside well before the first frost.

    • Q: Is Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' safe around cats and dogs?
      A: It is non-toxic to both cats and dogs and safe to keep anywhere in the home.

      Q: How should I position this plant in a room to prevent leaf damage?
      A: Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' scorches in direct south-facing sun. A spot with bright indirect light or a few feet from an east or west window works best.

      Q: How often does Calathea 'Freddie' need feeding?
      A: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer, then stop feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

      Q: What happens if you water too much?
      A: Calathea 'Freddie' develops root rot in soggy soil and yellowing leaves if kept constantly wet, so let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.

      Q: Can Calathea 'Freddie' survive a trip without watering?
      A: You can leave it up to ten days without water.

      Q: How large does this plant typically grow indoors?
      A: Calathea 'Freddie' reaches around 24 inches in height and stays compact and upright, so it won't overtake a shelf or table.

      🌿 For Houseplants
      When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
      Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
      Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
      *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
