Calathea picturata Crimson Fashion

Calathea with pink leaves is very trendy. A particularly beautiful variety is the Crimson with its pink leaf center. With its pink leaf pattern, it is not only a real eye-catcher, but also ensures a better indoor climate and is a tip for pet owners, because Calathea are non-toxic to animals.

As with most variegated plants, 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.

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.

High humidity levels are a must. Mist frequently to improve humidity conditions and pop it near the shower from time-to-time to give it an extra boost.

This Calathea is considered non-toxic, therefore safe around children and pets.

This plant filters airborne toxins and is part of our clean air plant collection.
