{"product_id":"goeppertia-calathea-zebrina","title":"Goeppertia (Calathea) zebrina","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBold zebra-striped foliage in a medium pot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoeppertia (Calathea) zebrina shows broad, velvety dark‑green leaves banded with bright lime‑green, zebra‑like stripes; the undersides are typically purplish, so a gentle turn of a leaf adds a two‑tone flash. The overall silhouette is an upright, tidy clump of large, elliptic leaves that read as bold but not spiky—often described in trade as the classic ‘zebra plant’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an upright, clump‑forming species that does not climb or trail. Leaves enlarge as the plant matures and you may notice the familiar nightly leaf movement common to Marantaceae (the so‑called “prayer” motion). It grows from short rhizomes into a neat mound rather than sending long runners or producing leaf splits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn everyday ownership the payoff is high visual contrast, but there are trade‑offs: it prefers consistently humid air and evenly kept substrate, and low humidity will show up quickly as brown leaf edges. It can also attract spider mites in persistently dry, heated rooms. Collectors prize it for its dramatic stripe pattern and velvety texture, yet it is commonly available in the horticultural trade rather than a rare novelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a medium potted specimen (14 cm pot, medium size), it’s well suited to desks, shelves or compact corners where the striped leaves can be appreciated. This pot size makes the plant easy to place in apartment living without dominating a room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Circle","offers":[{"title":"Medium - P14 H30","offer_id":54291654738188,"sku":"MM-MEC-0262","price":20.17,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3553\/3068\/files\/calathea_54545.jpg?v=1763204258","url":"https:\/\/plantcircle.com\/en-at\/products\/goeppertia-calathea-zebrina","provider":"Plant Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
