  •   Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' is a striking tropical foliage plant in the Marantaceae family, native to the rainforests of Brazil. This genus thrives naturally on the shaded forest floor, which is exactly why it adapts so beautifully to life indoors. As a true prayer plant, Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' brings a slice of the tropics into any home or office with ease.

      Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' is instantly recognizable by its long, lance-shaped leaves striped with feathery bands of deep green and soft light green, creating a bold zebra-like pattern. The upright growth style gives this calathea freddie a tidy, architectural presence that stands out on a shelf or tabletop. Leaves have a slightly glossy surface on top with a pale underside, and the overall plant stays pleasingly compact, making it a natural fit for smaller spaces.

      Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' is primarily grown for its spectacular foliage rather than its flowers, which are modest and infrequent indoors. What really earns this plant its reputation is its air-purifying ability: Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' actively filters formaldehyde and other toxins from indoor air, releases oxygen at night, and naturally humidifies the surrounding space through transpiration. These traits make it a standout choice beyond looks alone.

      Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' is a fantastic pet friendly houseplant, so you can display it anywhere in the home without worry. It thrives near kitchen moisture, making a countertop or open shelf its happy place, and grows beautifully under office LEDs for anyone building a low-maintenance desk garden. Rotate it regularly for even growth, keep it away from AC vents and heater airflow, and shield it from rain if placed on a covered patio during summer. Collectors love Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' for its relatively rare zebra-patterned foliage and its gentle way of signaling thirst through slight wilting, making care feel intuitive and rewarding.

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

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

      Calathea Concinna 'Freddie' is hardy in USDA Zones 10-12, where temperatures rarely drop below 30-35°F (around 0-2°C), and should be kept as a houseplant in colder regions.

    🌿 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.
