Calathea 'Zebra Plant'
About Calathea 'Zebra Plant'
Many of the houseplants we used to know as Calatheas now belong to the genus Goeppertia (say that three times fast). These plants have delightfully patterned leaves that come in all sorts of colors and shapes! Commonly known as prayer plants, the leaves of some species fold up at night through a process called nyctinasty meaning night movement! 😴

How to fertilize Calathea 'Zebra Plant'
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Calathea 'Zebra Plant' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

This little baby Calathea had 2 leaves 2 months ago and now she's flowering! Wow!! I didn't know that she would. I haven't even placed her in a pot yet as I wanted to wait for Spring to be safe. Whatcha all think?

Pruning my calathea? Okay so, there are a pair of leaves I wanna prune, qnd I know I have to cut the stem near to the roots, but im wondering, what happens to the stem? Does it wither away and eventually dissapears? Or does it grow a leave again like a pothos? I hate the look of stumps at the roots of my plants so I would like to know #Goeppertia #happyplants #mysialia #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Dpes it need repotting? I got her like a week ago at the nuersery. She has been having constant growth and leaves unfurling! I love her alr But I feel like the soil is not drying quick enough and I notice some dry growth appear at the bottom of the plant, like they didnt have the energy to fullly grow. Also idk a lot about roots, so are those normal roots or a sign of it being root bound and needs to be changed? Thay are all ove tthe walls of the pot, holding the dirt toguethere from bottom to almost the top. The dirt itself its aturdy, nothibg ever fell when I went to unpot the plant She is alr on a 17cm pot btw #newplantmom #happyplants #calatheacrew #calatheazebra #calathealeopardina #mysialia

Tips? I just divided and repotted her since she was a little rot bound from the nursery. I took 1/3 of it and put it in a smaller pot to make another plant However, from what im seeing, they are very delicate when repotted.I think I left the soil too wet, and have been thinking of leaving them outside since there it is warm and sunny, but idk of the change from indoors will be too much. Do i put it back where I had it? Or can I leave them one or two days outside in the sun? What will be better for them to get used to their new home? #repotseason #calatheacrew #Goeppertia #newplantmom #happyplants #propagationstation #plantsmakepeoplehappy #mysialia

What could be causing the brown edges and curling of the leaves? #RoseCalathea

Dark green spots on leaf tops, translucent spots on the underside I’ve noticed that Dolores is gaining spots. Is this something I should be concerned about, or maybe just that she was a leopard in a past life 🤷🏼♀️ I can’t see any beasties, but she does have that sugary sand on the leaf underside. She’s just had a shower.

Spots on my calathea concinna leaves, any ideas? 😰 The spots turned up very suddenly within the last week. Do you think they look like a bacterial or fungal infection? No sign of any creatures. Her soil is very dense and holds in to water for ages (still in nursery pot). She lives in a room with 70% relative humidity, 21 degrees C, indirect light. #calatheacrew #help #goeppertia. Should I repot her in better soil? Remove the affected leaves? Spray with something?

Calathea power Some of these Calatheas (Goeppertia) have such will at living. Unlike others (I am having a hard time making Dottie and Silver Plate happen, my Cora is also quite grumpy at the moment..) But the White Fusion! (That I have only heard bad things about). And Yellow Fusion, and Makoyana. They just want to live, no mather what, it seems. And therefore I also end up with waay too many of each of them🙈 (can't throw away a part of the root that wants to liiive right?). It is 1 and 1/2 month since I repotted my white fusion, and this part was "left over". The tried old leaves are gone, but we are having new growth 🤗🌱 (Don't get me wrong, I still have yellow leaves and crispy edges, but they want to liive😆) #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #calatheacrew #calatheawhitefusion #newgrowth #freshleaffriday #adhdplantlovers #calathea #calatheacorner #goeppertia
