Calathea Orbifolia (includes Shipping)

Calatheas are known for their bold patterned foliage. The leaves of most Calathea varieties fold up slightly during the night time, revealing the often colorful undersides of their striking leaves. LIGHT

Your Calathea  will do best in medium to bright indirect light. Never allow this plant to stand in the direct sunlight—the leaves will get sunburned! WATER

For best results, maintain a regular watering schedule and keep your Calathea Medallion moist, but not wet or saturated. This is not a drought tolerant indoor plant, but it is relatively forgiving if you forget to water it from time to time. Extended periods of dryness can result in brown leaf tips or edges. HUMIDITY

Like many tropical indoor plants, your Calathea Orbifolia prefers a spot with ample humidity. If leaf edges begin to curl or brown up, mist them with lukewarm water on a regular basis, or use a pebble tray. Your bathroom or kitchen are perfect spots for this plant because these areas tend to be more humid. FERTILISER

For best results, use a general houseplant fertilizer with iron every four weeks during the spring and summer. No fertilizer is necessary for the winter when plant growth naturally slows. TOXICITY

Calatheas are non-poisonous plants and are safe for humans, cats, and dogs.
