Know before you buy
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners where it may lose its vibrant color.
The Peacock Calathea has moderate watering needs. Check the soil regularly and water when the top inch feels dry to the touch, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but never waterlogged.
Yes, Peacock Calatheas prefer high humidity. To keep the foliage looking its best, consider placing it in a bathroom, using a humidifier nearby, or grouping it with other plants to create a more humid microclimate.
The Shore Planter is a ceramic vessel designed for indoor display. We recommend checking the moisture levels carefully to ensure the plant does not sit in standing water, as the pot may not have a traditional drainage hole.
The Peacock Calathea has a clumping growth habit and a medium growth rate. At 10 inches tall, it is perfectly sized for desks or shelves and will remain compact with proper care.
