CALATHEAS!
Hands down one of the coolest varieties of plants we carry. From the beautiful patterns and colors in their leaves to the daily movement and the way they spiral out new growth - these amazing plants are a must have!
.
But beware, Calatheas are not considered a beginner plant and almost all plant parents have let at least one fall victim.
.
Don’t let our warning signs deter you. Here’s a few simple tricks to keeping these beauties alive for a long time!
1. DONT GO TRYING TO REPOT HER RIGHT AWAY! - place this delicate lady in a decorative lot with good drainage.
2. It likes lower light and/or filter morning sun
3. Not a fan of the hot summer heat
4. Give it some good ole fashion rain water- our tap water could burn her leaves
5. She’s a thirsty girl, but wait till she drys out a tad before drowning her.
6. Your AC is running ALL DAY- normal right, we live in Florida, but she’s from the tropical rainforest and needs a little humidity- a bathroom with nice hot steamy shower...
