Care Instructions
- Light: Filtered light is perfect - no direct sunlight.
- Water: Use a spray bottle a few times a week to keep the soil moist, then a nice big drink once a week. Don't let the plant sit in water - this is the fastest way to root-rot town!
- Temperature: The warmer the better, originating in rainforests they love humid temperatures.
- Soil: A rich, well-drained potting mix is best. Lift your plastic pot from the outer pot once a week to keep an eye on the bottom tray - make sure it's not sitting in water!
- Did you know: The leaves of a Calathea change angles throughout the day depending on the light source. Don't be startled if you catch it moving, or hear a slight rustle!
Green Thumb Level
Easy - Medium
Given the right conditions, these striking plants are fast growers, however they are highly sensitive to cold draughts and other temperature fluctuations - so while you may enjoy the airconditioning blasting in the summer, your Calathea won't! You'll notice when it's not happy as its leaves will turn grey/brown.
Size Details
The plant is potted in a 10cm plastic nursery pot. Each pot has one clump; leaves measure about 7cm.
Some natural variation in size and appearance may occur.
