Freddie Calathea is a tropical houseplant native to Brazil but loved all over the world for its unique silver-and-green-striped—and uniquely mobile—leaves. Like most prayer plants, this 12”-24” tall wonder often moves its leaves throughout the day to follow the sun, then lifts them up at night as if praying.
