Combi Deal - Calathea Dreaming

Product description

The Calathea originates from the tropical rainforests of South America. In these rainforests the plants grow in the shadow of trees and other large plants. For this reason the Calatheas are also called 'Shadowplants'. These houseplants really seem to 'live'. In the evening the Calathea folds its leaves in order to open them up again at the first rays of light in the morning. This gives a special addition to these already mega-attractive plants! 

Care & tips Calathea - 35cm 

The Calathea is a tropical houseplant that is fairly easy to look after. However, the plant does need to be in the right place to stay beautiful. The Calathea is not called the 'Shadowplant' for nothing. This houseplant is not a fan of sunlight. So it is ideal to fill up a dark corner in your room. Also take into account the humidity for this houseplant. Because of its tropical origins, it will not survive well at low humidity. You can regulate this by regularly spraying the leaves.

Water requirements for Calathea - 35cm

The Calathea needs a little tepid water 2 to 3 times a week. It is important that the potting soil always remains slightly moist. We advise you to give small amounts several times to prevent a layer of water from staying at the bottom of the pot. We advise you to water this houseplant at least once a week. By watering the leaves, you ensure that there is a higher level of humidity around the plant. This will benefit the health and development of new leaves.

Light requirements for Calathea - 35cm 

As mentioned, this houseplant does not like direct or too much sunlight. From spring to autumn, it is best to place the Calathea in a spot in the semi-shade. In the winter months, you can move this houseplant to a slightly lighter spot, but still without direct sunlight. 

Is the Calathea - 35cm poisonous?

The Calathea is not poisonous when touched. Nevertheless we advise you not to consume this plant or to use it in food.
