Pro Tips
Calatheas love humidity, so mist them occasionally or leave them in a tray of pebbles and water. Keep away from AC and heat drafts. Another sign to look for when thirsty is closed leaves during the daytime. To ensure glossy new growth, allow plant water to sit out overnight, or use pruified water. Calathea have different metabolisms from other plants, and aren't able to handle all the chemicals typically found in tap water.
Origin
Native to South America and a member of the Marantaceae family, which includes the Arrowroot plant. These plants grow under the shade of larger canopied plants in the rainforest. Also known as "Prayer Plants", the leaves spread out during the day to maximise sunlight, and then retract at night.
