This plant thrives in moderate to bright indirect light and prefers consistently moist soil during hot months and you can let the soil dries out between waterings in winter. It is also essential to maintain a humid environment through regular misting or placing a humidifier nearby, as the plant is native to tropical regions. Avoid overwatering and make sure to use good quality growing medium created for Calathea plants when repotting.
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.

The real beauty of Calathease comes from its leafy foliage, producing bright and exotic colour combinations. Plant enthusiasts have admired these plants 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” coined from the Calathea habits. 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 it maintain its energy in a dense and competitive growing environment.
**Q: How often should I water my Calathea during different seasons?**
A: During the warmer months, keep the soil consistently moist by watering as soon as the top inch feels dry. In winter, allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
**Q: My home isn’t very humid. How can I create a suitable environment for my Calathea?**
A: Boost the humidity around your plant by misting it regularly, placing it on a pebble tray filled with water, or using a humidifier. This mimics its native tropical habitat and helps keep the leaves vibrant and healthy.
**Q: Is the Calathea Prayer Plant suitable for beginners, and what makes it a good starter plant?**
A: Yes, this plant is ideal for beginners due to its low-maintenance nature and ability to thrive under various indoor light conditions. Its air-purifying qualities and non-toxicity make it a safe and beneficial addition to any plant enthusiast’s collection.

Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
