Thoughts on Zebrina?

So I’m thinking of getting a small #CalatheaZebra cuz my local nursery had some and I fell in love with the leaves. I didn’t get it then cuz it was too big for my liking and I prefer to get my plants small first.
I’ve read that it’s quite fuzzy, specially with humidity. Is it any different compared to other calatheas? Is it as fuzzy as the white fusion? What is you guys experience with it compared to other calatheas?

@AstroMind I have several calathea, including a zebrina, although I don't have a white fusion. The only thing I noticed different to the others so far is it really hates any type of direct sun, the leaves curl up and pretend to be dead almost immediately. Once I realised that, it's been the same as all the others. Mine live in moderate indirect light, more than a meter from the window, relative humidity is between 60-75%, temperature 19-22 Celsius. I love the leaves, they are kind of velvety with a beautiful sheen and of course a beautiful pattern. 💕🌿

My calathea do fine in 50% humidity at about 60-65 F. I don’t find the Sebring to be any fussier than say an ornata. I like to get as big as I can too though because it’s easier to maintain water.

I would love to give you mine. I do t have the humidity and it hates me. Despite all the crispy edges- mine is super easy and doesn’t require watering as often as my other calatheas.
