Calathea

Description

Calathea is a stunning tropical foliage plant admired for its beautifully patterned leaves and vibrant colors. Known as the Prayer Plant, its leaves gently move and fold upward at night, adding a unique and lively touch to any indoor space. With striking markings in shades of green, purple, pink, and silver, Calathea is perfect for creating an elegant and decorative atmosphere in homes, offices, and interiors.

Calathea thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers warm, humid environments similar to its natural tropical habitat. It grows best in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil and requires consistent watering to keep the soil slightly moist, but never soggy. This plant is sensitive to dry air and benefits greatly from regular misting or placement in humid areas like bathrooms or near a humidifier.

Although slightly delicate, Calathea is highly rewarding with proper care, producing lush, vibrant foliage that enhances any indoor décor. It is also pet-friendly and valued for bringing freshness, color, and natural beauty to living spaces.
