At WePlante, we are committed to offering plants that combine aesthetics and well-being for the design of your indoor and outdoor spaces.
Today, we present one of our favourites for plant rental in offices and professional spaces: the Zebra Calathea. With its magnificent leaves featuring patterns reminiscent of zebra stripes, this plant adds a touch of exoticism and refinement to your indoor or outdoor plant decoration.
Origin and characteristics of the Zebra Calathea
Calathéa Native to the tropical forests of South America, the Calathea zebra is distinguished by its large oval leaves, marked with contrasting veins that create a fascinating graphic pattern. Its green leaves with silver or dark purple highlights are sure to catch the eye, while bringing a soothing atmosphere to your office décor.
This plant is also known for its leaves, which fold upwards and then unfold again when exposed to light. This phenomenon is as spectacular as it is relaxing for those who enjoy it every day.
Why choose the Zebra Calathea for your workspace?
If you want to enhance your working environment with a plant that combines originality and well-being benefits, Calathea is an excellent choice for your indoor or outdoor space. But that's not the only reason to choose it:
- Unique aesthetic : With its natural design, this plant is a true living work of art that fits perfectly into your indoor plant décor.
- Air purification : Like most indoor plants, it helps purify the air by absorbing toxins and producing oxygen, and adds a touch of greenery to your office décor. An undeniable asset for improving the comfort of your workspace.
- Easy care : Although its imposing leaves and bright colours may suggest that it is a difficult plant to care for, Calathea is actually quite easy to manage if it receives regular care. That's where our plant care service comes in!
- Calming atmosphere : Its exotic appearance adds a touch of serenity to stressful spaces, promoting concentration and well-being among your employees and improving the office layout.
Our tips for caring for the Zebra Calathea
- Watering : Keep the soil slightly moist at all times, but avoid overwatering, which could cause the roots to rot. Watering once or twice a week is sufficient, which is key to caring for your plant.
- Light : This plant prefers bright locations, but should not be exposed to direct sunlight, which could burn its delicate leaves.
- Temperature : Calathea will thrive in spaces with temperatures between 19° and 25°C in summer and between 13° and 21° in winter.
- Humidity : Coming from an Amazonian climate, they need a humid environment, so it is necessary to spray them with water 2-3 times a day or place them in an environment with several other plants.
