Calathea

The living art piece.

Renowned for their intricate, painted patterns and rich, contrasting undersides, Calatheas are the crown jewels of indoor foliage. Their stunning leaves naturally fold up at night and open to the morning sun, bringing an enchanting, dynamic presence to any curated space.

Light: Prefers medium to bright indirect light; strictly avoid direct sunlight, which can bleach or burn the exquisite leaf patterns.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. They are sensitive to tap water; distilled, rain, or filtered water is highly recommended.
Humidity/Temp: Demands higher humidity (50%+) and consistent warmth; thrives best between 65–85°F and must be shielded from cold drafts.
Pet note: Pet-safe.
Natural variation: Each plant is unique; leaf size, pattern symmetry, and the intensity of the under-leaf coloring will vary naturally by variety.
