Details
With its oversized, silver-striped leaves and soft, flowing form, Calathea Orbifolia, also known as a prayer plant, is a showstopper that quietly commands attention. Native to the rainforests of Bolivia, it thrives in a warm, humid environment (just keep out of direct sun) and prefers a gentle touch when it comes to watering.
The leaves of this Calathea move throughout the day and curl up at night, as is typical for many prayer plants. A natural air purifier and safe for pets, bringing a tropical feel to your space.
Self-watering pot included
Our self-watering pot makes plant care easy! This easy watering system makes sure your plant gets just the right amount of water and Plantsmith feed at exactly the right time. The water meter on the device indicates when you need to fill it with water and Plantsmith feed, and your plant will take care of itself for weeks to come.
Care Instructions
- Light Calatheas love bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering & Feeding The self-watering pot does the hard work. Top up when the indicator dips and soil is dry. Add a feed to the reservoir from March–September.
- Humidity Calatheas love humidity. Mist regularly to keep leaves lush and healthy or place in a naturally humid room.
