Calathea 'Moonlight'
14cm Pot
Plant Highlights: Elegant silvery-green foliage • Decorative patterned leaves • Thrives in humid indoor spaces • Adds year-round colour and texture
Overview
Calathea 'Moonlight' is a striking tropical foliage plant grown for its beautifully patterned leaves. The broad, elegant foliage features soft silvery-green tones with contrasting darker green margins, bringing a fresh, contemporary feel to indoor spaces throughout the year.
Its compact, clump-forming habit makes it ideal for shelves, side tables and plant displays, where the distinctive foliage can be appreciated up close. Like other calatheas, the leaves naturally respond to changing light levels by gently raising and lowering between day and night, adding subtle movement to your indoor plant collection.

Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Place in bright, indirect light, away from direct sunshine which can fade or scorch the foliage. It grows well in living rooms, home offices and naturally humid bathrooms with good natural light.
Watering
Keep the compost lightly moist, allowing only the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid leaving the pot standing in water and reduce watering during the cooler months.
Humidity
This plant enjoys moderate to high humidity. Increased humidity helps keep the foliage looking its best, particularly during the heating season.
Feeding
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser during spring and summer. Feeding can be reduced or stopped during winter.
