Eye-catching and beautiful, this striking houseplant stands on desks, tabletops, and in other places where you can enjoy its long, narrow leaves. Each mid-green leaf is decorated with dark green spots and artfully accented by dark purple-red undersides. This small houseplant doesn’t need high light to thrive, so you can enjoy it in your bedroom, living room, den, or just about any other room of your home. It thrives in bright, indirect light indoors, but tolerates low and medium light. Water it as the top of the potting mix starts to dry to the touch as it doesn’t like to dry out. Keep it away from hot or cold drafts (such as from heating or air conditioning vents). Repot once every couple of years or as it becomes rootbound. Give it average to above-average relative humidity levels (over 40%) for best performance. This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact.
A bold and beautiful houseplant, calathea looks good even without flowers.
Like many tropical indoor plants, calathea prefers a spot with low to medium light and abundant humidity.
Water calathea enough to keep it moist, but not wet or saturated.
Height at shipping is approximately 12-inches tall, measured from the bottom of the pot to the top of the plant.
This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity which may cause discomfort or illness if ingested, and exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact, so this plant is grown for ornamental purposes only and not intended for human or animal consumption.
