About this product
Calathea roseopicta 'Crimson' – 6cm Pot
Plant Highlights: Rich burgundy and pink-toned foliage • Decorative patterned leaves • Compact growing habit • Thrives in humid indoor spaces • Evergreen tropical houseplant
Overview
Calathea roseopicta 'Crimson' is a compact tropical houseplant grown for its beautifully patterned foliage. Its broad, rounded leaves display deep green to burgundy tones accented with rich pink markings, while the undersides are flushed with purple, creating colour and interest from every angle.
With its neat, clump-forming habit, 'Crimson' is an excellent choice for desks, shelves and side tables, bringing vibrant foliage to indoor spaces throughout the year. Like other calatheas, its leaves gently respond to changing light levels, lifting and lowering over the course of the day.

Growing Guide
Place in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunshine which can fade or scorch the decorative foliage. Keep the compost lightly moist, allowing only the surface to dry slightly before watering again. Do not allow the compost to become completely dry or remain waterlogged.
This plant enjoys warm temperatures and higher humidity, making it well suited to bathrooms or kitchens with natural light. Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at half strength.
Indoor Placement
'Crimson' grows well in bright living rooms, home offices, bedrooms and naturally lit bathrooms where humidity is higher. Keep it away from radiators, cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.
Why We Love It
The richly coloured foliage provides year-round interest without relying on flowers. Its compact size makes it easy to display, while the intricate leaf patterns bring texture and colour to contemporary and traditional interiors alike.
