4" Calathea Freddie

Calathea Freddie (Goeppertia concinna ‘Freddie’)

Calathea Freddie is a beautiful tropical houseplant known for its long, narrow leaves patterned with alternating light and dark green stripes. Its bold, almost hand-painted foliage adds plenty of interest without taking up a ton of space, making it a great choice for shelves, tabletops, and grouped plant displays.

Like other Calatheas, Freddie appreciates consistent moisture and extra humidity, but rewards you with gorgeous foliage and plenty of movement.

Care Tips:

🌫 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives around 65–80°F; keep away from cold drafts

Fun Fact:
Freddie is a “prayer plant,” meaning its leaves naturally move throughout the day and often lift upward at night, a response to changing light levels called nyctinasty. 🌿💚
