Know before you buy
Yes, this variety is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with curious animals.
Calatheas are highly sensitive to the minerals and chemicals found in standard tap water, such as chlorine and fluoride. Using distilled or filtered water helps prevent unsightly brown tips and leaf spotting.
During the darker winter months, your plant may slow its growth significantly or stop producing new leaves. Simply reduce your watering frequency during this time and wait for the return of brighter light in the spring.
You can boost local humidity by placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water, grouping it with other moisture-loving plants, or using a humidifier nearby. Misting is generally less effective and can sometimes lead to fungal issues if the leaves stay wet for too long.
The plant is treated with organic cold-pressed Neem Oil as a preventative measure to keep pests at bay and ensure the foliage remains healthy and clean upon arrival.
The plant arrives in a specialized blend of potting soil, orchid bark, charcoal, and perlite. This mix is designed to provide the necessary drainage and aeration to keep the roots healthy while maintaining consistent moisture.
