Calathea ‘Vittata’

Fine, pale striping gives the Calathea ‘Vittata’ a quiet graphic rhythm against its green foliage. Its upright leaves bring pattern and softness to an indoor space without relying on flowers for interest.

Plant Characteristics

• Green foliage marked with fine, pale stripes
• Clumping, upright growth
• Evergreen foliage for year-round indoor interest

Care Details

• Light: Medium to bright indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun
• Water: Keep the potting mix evenly moist but never soggy
• Soil: Rich, well-draining indoor potting mix
• Humidity: Prefers higher humidity
• Temperature: Best around 65–75°F; protect from drafts and abrupt changes
• Pet safety: ASPCA lists Calathea plants as non-toxic to cats and dogs

Rainwater or distilled water may help avoid leaf damage where tap water is harsh. Check the soil regularly and allow excess water to drain.

Styling & Placement

Place it where its striping can be seen up close, such as a shelf or plant stand with filtered light. A naturally humid, well-lit bathroom is another option; avoid a dark room or a spot beside a heating vent.
