Calathea elliptica 'Vittata' is a beautiful plant that has large， elongated leaves. The leaves are green with white striping that creates a striking contrast. Calatheas are moderate to fast growing members of the Marantaceae family that are native to the tropical Americas. They come in many different varieties and are highly prized for their exotic， unique patterned foliage - often considered some of the most beautiful in the world! They should be planted in a well-drained soil mix but kept moist (not saturated) at all times. They require moderately low lighting to full shade and there should never be standing water on the leaves. Bright lighting will damage the leaves and fade the color. These plants need stable temperatures， preferably above 60 degrees， as they are highly sensitive to cold drafts and other temperature fluctuations.
As good practice， Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Plants from Josh’s Frogs are specifically grown to be safe for use with animals. Live plants may vary in color， size and appearance.
