1. Calathea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Calathea<\/a>\"\", also known as Zebra plant or Peacock plant is one of the most popular striped houseplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a beautiful indoor plant that grows best in warm, humid conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can be a bit tricky for beginner gardeners because they\u2019re sensitive to cold, drafts and fluctuations in temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calathea likes a well-lit spot, away from direct sunlight and their leaves should be misted during hot, dry weather.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum<\/em>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spider plants<\/a>\"\" have long green and white stripy leaves and get their name from the new offshoots that hang down from the plant, like little baby spiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re low maintenance indoor plants that will tolerate a range of different conditions and they\u2019re perfect for anyone that is new to gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Croton (Codiaeum variegatum<\/em>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Croton<\/a>\"\" has always been one of my favorite houseplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has beautiful striped foliage in a range of colors including yellow, pink, orange, red and green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croton plants like lots of bright light, warmth, humidity and regular misting, especially during hot weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They don\u2019t like being moved around too much and they sometimes lose their leaves after they\u2019re moved.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Wandering Jew (Tradescantia pallid<\/em>) <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wandering Jew<\/a>\"\" is another beautiful indoor plant with colorful stripy leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a trailing plant, so it\u2019s ideal for a hanging planter, or placed on top of a bookcase or shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wandering Jew plants need lots of bright, indirect light to keep their colors bright. The leaves can fade in low light environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When watering Wandering Jews, it\u2019s best not to water right into the crown as it can cause the plant to rot.<\/p>\n\n\n

5. Mother-In-Law\u2019s Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata)<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mother-In-Law’s Tongue<\/a>\"\", also known as Snake plant, is a type of succulent that has long, spiky leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leaves have horizontal green stripes and some varieties have yellow stripes along the outside edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mother-In-Law\u2019s Tongue are easy to care for and they don\u2019t need to be watered too often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can tolerate low light conditions, so they\u2019re perfect for rooms that don\u2019t get a lot of natural light.<\/p>\n\n\n

6. Nerve Plant (Fittonia<\/em>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nerve plants<\/a>\"\" are small tropical plants with dark green foliage and white or pink stripes that look like veins running through the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They grow best in humid conditions with lots of moisture, so they\u2019re ideal plants for closed terrariums<\/a>\"\" or bathrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nerve plants only grow to about 6 inches (15 centimetres) tall, so they\u2019re perfect for small homes and apartments. [1<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n

7. Pleomele (Dracena reflexa)<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dracena<\/a>\"\", also known as Dragon plants or Corn plants, have long green leaves with yellow stripes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re native to subtropical areas so they grow best in warm humid climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dracena plants can also be grown outside the tropics but they need bright, indirect light and regular misting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately Dracena plants are toxic for dogs and cats, so it\u2019s not a good idea to have them in your home if you have pets inside.<\/p>\n\n\n

8. Bromeliads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bromeliads<\/a>\"\" are another popular indoor plant that loves humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many different types of bromeliads including some with striped leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have spectacular large flowers that are actually modified leaves called bracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bromeliads thrive in well-lit rooms, but direct sunlight can burn the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n

9. Ti Plant (Cordyline minalis<\/em>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ti plants<\/a>\"\" have brightly colored striped leaves in a range of colors including pink, purple, red, brown and green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re a tropical plant, so they thrive in humid conditions and they need bright, indirect light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watering Ti plants with tap water that contains fluoride can cause the leaves to turn brown, so it\u2019s best to use bottled, filtered or rain water to water them.<\/p>\n\n\n
