This 'shade plant' comes from the tropical rainforests of South America and is also known as the 'prayer plant', because of the way its leaves point upwards at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; tips for the Calathea Picturata - 70cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Calathea Picturata isn't a difficult plant to care for. You do need to know what it wants, though, so you can enjoy your plant for a long time. Give the Calathea the right spot and keep an eye on how much water it gets, and the Calathea Picturata will soon be thriving in your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much water does the Calathea Picturata - 70cm need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soil of the Calathea Picturata likes to stay lightly moist, but be careful not to overwater. Too much water builds up at the bottom of the pot, leaving the roots standing in water. That can lead to root rot, which is eventually fatal for the plant. Something you'll want to avoid, of course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep from giving the plant too much water, we recommend pushing two fingers deep into the soil before every watering. Does the soil feel dry? Then it's time to water. Is it still moist from last time? Then hold off a little longer. It's also good to mist the Calathea lightly once a week to keep the humidity up, which is essential to your plant's health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much light does the Calathea Picturata - 70cm need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Calathea Picturata originally comes from the tropics, where it grows in the shade of larger plants and trees. That's why it doesn't cope well with direct sunlight. To keep the plant at its best, give it a shady spot. Bright indirect light is no problem for the Calathea; as long as the light isn't too intense, the plant will do well in it. Do watch out though: if the Calathea gets too much light, it will let you know by curling its leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the Calathea Picturata - 70cm toxic?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, like most Calathea species the Picturata is not toxic to children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is my Calathea Picturata shipped?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis houseplant is delivered in a nursery pot.
