Description
We challenge you not to fall in love with this Calathea Purple Roseopicta Rosy baby plant! Its large oval leaves are a deep glossy green around the edges, with a bright flush of pink in the centre. It is bright with a compact habit and prefers a partially shaded spot away from direct sunlight. Choose your spot carefully, as the colour will vary from vivid magenta to plush purple depending on light levels. Also known as the Prayer Plant, Calathea Purple Roseopicta Rosy is native to the tropical climate of Central and South Americas. It thrives in a humid environment, making it perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. Regular misting will help your Prayer Plant thrive and keep it a happy roommate. As for watering. Prayer Plants can be quite thirsty but they like the top 2cm of soil to dry out between drinks. A fertile soil that easily drains is ideal for these tropical plants. Place your Prayer Plant well away from any doors or windows to avoid cold draughts. Prayer Plants have excellent air-purifying qualities and are non-toxic to pets. Growing your Calathea from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness. It’s not unusual to give your plant a name... so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph. CHARACTERISTICS: Beautifully vibrant small indoor plant, flaunting large, ovate leaves in a rich glossy green with flushes of vibrant pink in the middle. Originates from tropical forests in Central and South America, and keeps its colourful foliage year-round. SMALL HOUSEPLANT: Ideal indoor plant for small spaces like apartments, window sills, bathrooms, office desks or kitchens. Added bonus of the Calathea being an excellent air purifier! IDEAL GIFT PLANT: No matter the occasion - a birthday, housewarming or holidays - a baby plant will be a perfect gift for your friend or family with a green thumb, or someone aspiring to become a proud plant parent. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Calathea Purple Roseopicta Rosy will thrive in a partially shaded space that isn’t exposed to strong, direct sunlight. It’ll do best in fertile soil with good drainage. Water regularly, making sure that the top 2-5cm of soil is dry to touch between waterings.
