Calathea warscewiczii / P14

Calathea - Indoor Plant

Calatheas are tropical plants celebrated for their beautifully patterned foliage, featuring various shades of green, white, pink, and purple. The leaves often have distinct markings, such as stripes, spots, or flame-like patterns, making them highly decorative. Additionally, Calatheas are known for their nyctinastic movements, where leaves move up at night and lower during the day, earning them the nickname “prayer plants.”

Supplied in a 14cm pot, plants stand approx. 30cm tall. Calathea 'Warscewiczii' is also known as the velvet calathea. Its leafs are incredibly soft to touch. The colours of this calathea are remarkable, especially when mature but for whatever reason a picture never does this plant any justice, it has to be seen in person to fully appreciate it.

Key Features:

• Foliage: Large tropical colourful leafs, usually wide
• Height: 1-5 foot
• Best placement: A warm spot away from drafts and direct sunlight
• Care requirements: Soil needs to be kept moist. Doesn't cope well with low temperatures or drafts

Calathea have a reputation of being difficult to keep, but once they are kept warm, and not allowed to dry out they will be happy. They do appreciate humidity, a warm bathroom is an ideal spot
