Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Goeppertia concinna 'Freddie', commonly known as the Zebra Plant or Elegant Calathea, is a tropical evergreen perennial native to South America. This cultivar is celebrated for its striking foliage, featuring elongated, lance-shaped leaves adorned with alternating light and dark green stripes, reminiscent of zebra patterns. The undersides of the leaves display a subtle pale green hue, adding to its visual appeal. Typically reaching heights and widths of 30–60 cm, 'Freddie' is well-suited for indoor environments, making it an excellent choice for pots and shaded garden beds in Perth's climate.

To ensure optimal growth, place 'Freddie' in a location with bright, indirect sunlight, avoiding direct exposure to prevent leaf scorch. Maintaining high humidity levels is crucial; consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray with water and pebbles to increase moisture around it. Keep the temperature consistently warm, ideally between 18–24°C, and protect the plant from cold drafts and winds. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, using distilled or rainwater to prevent mineral buildup. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser to support healthy development. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their vibrant appearance.
