Calathea Roseppicta

Calathea Roseopicta is a must have in all prayer plant collector’s portfolio because of its unique foliage.

Calathea Roseopicta is a species of plant in the family Marantaceae, native to northwest Brazil. It is a clump-forming evergreen perennial growing to 50 cm. It needs no introduction, easy-care, air-purifying and a real looker with beautiful foliage.

If the leaves begin to get brown, then it typically means it’s being underwatered or needs a more humid environment. The Rose Painted Calathea leaves will fold up during the dark hours, which reveal the colourful undersides, making them a gorgeous addition to your indoor garden no matter the hour.

Prayer Plant likes diffused, indirect light, in a humid environment so kitchens and bathrooms are ideal along with regular misting and your plant will thrive. Wipe Calathea’s leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust, so that it can breathe properly. This plant is safe around children and pets.
