Calathea Roseopicta Dottie
Fleur & Co
Calatheas are native to tropical Americas, growing underneath canopies in rainforests. Like other species in the Marantaceae family, these plants raise their leaves during the night as if they were praying, earning them the nickname “prayer plant.” With its dark purple and pink leaves, the Roseopicta is a uniquely stunning plant. Calatheas are commonly called Prayer Plants because their leaves close at night. For any pet parents out there - this houseplant is non-toxic & oh so friendly! Plant Size Small: 4 inch standard nursery pot. Light As with most variegated plants, Calathea needs plenty of diffused light however direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose their markings. They can tolerate some degree of shade, but the better the light conditions, the more you will be rewarded by fine foliage. Experiment in your home to find the perfect spot for your plant. 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. These plants can be sensitive to harsh chemicals in tap water, so it is recommended to use distilled or rainwater to avoid burned edges. Plant Specific Care High humidity levels are a must. Stand on a wet pebble tray to improve humidity and mist frequently. Pop it in the shower room or kitchen from time to time to give an extra boost.Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Do not use leaf shine as this will damage the foliage. Brown tips may occur Pet-Friendly Plant Yes.
