Calathea | Orbifolia
Calathea | Orbifolia
These calathea have large, silvery-green leaves with dark-coloured Light: Calathea need plenty of diffused light. Direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose their markings. They can tolerate some degree of shade, but the more indirect light, the finer the foliage.
Water: Calathea must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think 'little and often' as a watering policy.
Note**This plant is sensitive to chlorine in tap water, so allow it to stand overnight to diffuse before use, and maintain an even moist soil.
