Originating from Central and South America and one of the most difficult Calathea names to pronounce but one of the coolest.
It's a tall growing Calathea with beautiful long velvety foliage, two-toned green tops and a lovely burgundy colour underneath.
Looks lovely in our Costa Pot, Honey Pot and Rattan Baskets
Plant Size: D18cm H70cm
Plant Care
Position
Keep her in a nice bright spot but out of direct sunlight so you don't burn her colourful leaves. She will be happy in a shader spot too.
Watering
Keep her soil moist but don't over saturate her. Water when the top couple of inches of soil are dry. When you water her, make sure you drain out the water from the nursery pot to avoid her sitting in a puddle and getting root rot.
Temperature/Humidity
She loves moist air so if she isn't getting enough humidity you could try misting her, putting a bowl of water near her or putting her close to other plants to create their own microclimate.
Toxicity
She's non toxic to cats and dogs.
