Know before you buy
Grower's Choice means that our team will select a healthy, high-quality Calathea from our current inventory for you. Because we have a diverse collection of varieties, you will receive a surprise specimen that may differ in pattern or color from the product photos.
These plants prefer partial sun or bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch their delicate, patterned leaves.
Calatheas prefer moderate watering and well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
The 2.25-inch pot is suitable for the plant's initial arrival, but you may want to repot it into a slightly larger container once it shows signs of outgrowing its current space. Ensure any new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Calatheas are known for their striking foliage, but they can be a bit particular about humidity and moisture levels. They are a great choice if you are willing to monitor their soil moisture and provide a stable, indoor environment.
