Why Calathea?
Make your indoor spaces greener
Calathea plants, known for their stunning foliage, are popular choices for indoor gardens due to their vibrant, colorful leaves that feature intricate patterns. They come in a variety of species, each with unique leaf designs ranging from stripes to speckles, often in shades of green, purple, pink, and white. These plants can add a touch of tropical elegance to any space, making them a visually appealing addition to your home decor.
Caring for Calatheas involves creating a humid environment and providing bright, indirect light. They thrive in well-draining soil and should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help maintain the humidity levels they need. It's also important to avoid placing them in direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. With the right care, Calatheas can flourish and bring a splash of color and life to your home.
