Calathea

The calathea has graphic leaves painted with patterns. Each species is a living painting, demanding in humidity.

Calatheas need high humidity (misting), indirect light, and non-calcareous water. They close their leaves at night and reopen them in the morning.

Mistake: a calathea in a dry indoor environment. Without sufficient humidity, its leaves dry at the edges and curl up.

The calathea is a decorative houseplant that adds a touch of greenery and color to your space. Its graphic and colorful leaves make it a perfect design element to brighten up your decor.

There are many varieties of calathea, each with different patterns and colors on its leaves. Among the most popular are calathea orbifolia, calathea makoyana, and calathea lancifolia. Each type has its own graphic personality.

The calathea appreciates bright places, but away from direct sunlight. Place it in a room with indirect light, such as near a window. Also, avoid drafts that could dry it out.

To highlight a calathea, you can combine it with designer pots, cachepots, or stands made of natural materials like wood or ceramic. These complementary elements will create a harmonious and trendy look.

The calathea pairs very well with other houseplants with graphic or tropical foliage, such as monstera, philodendron, or ZZ plant. This will create a beautiful contrast effect and an indoor jungle vibe.
