Description

With proper care, Calathea can continue to thrive and add a pop of colour to your indoor space. Its low-maintenance nature and air-purifying abilities make it a perfect choice for plant enthusiasts of all skill levels.

There are few plants as vibrant and interesting as Calatheas. These joyfully bright plants belong to the family Marantaceae and consist of around 200 species that make up the genus Goeppetia. Consisting mainly of flowering perennials that grow in clumps from tuberous subterranean roots these plants are naturally found growing in deep shade under dense vegetation in the tropical rainforest of predominantly South America and across the tropical regions of Africa.

The real beauty of Calathease comes from its leafy foliage, producing bright and exotic colour combinations. These plants have been admired by plant enthusiasts for the better part of a century and have become the symbol of a new start. We’ve all heard of the saying “to turn over a new leaf” which has been coined from the habits of the Calathea. All Calatheas have developed the habit of turning over and closing their leaves. This happens when the plant is less active during periods of little to no light and helps them to maintain its energy in a dense and competitive growing environment.
