Care & tips for the Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar' - 90cm
The Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar' is a striking houseplant with narrow, wavy leaves and a velvety underside. This plant loves a warm environment with slightly higher humidity, much like its tropical origins. Ideally, place it away from draughts and try to avoid big temperature swings. Lightly misting the leaves regularly helps keep the plant looking beautiful and healthy. Caring for Calatheas follows much the same general guidelines as for other houseplants.
How much water does the Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar' - 90cm need?
The soil of the Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar' can stay slightly moist, but don't let the roots sit in a layer of water. Let the top layer of soil dry out a little between waterings before you water again. In the warmer months the plant often uses a bit more water than in winter.
How much light does the Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar' - 90cm need?
The Calathea rufibarba prefers a spot with plenty of indirect daylight. Direct sunlight can damage the leaves and cause discolouration, so a spot with filtered light or partial shade is ideal for this houseplant. It can also do well in a slightly darker spot, as long as there's enough daylight.
Is the Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar' - 90cm toxic?
No, the Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar' is not toxic, which makes this houseplant a safe choice for households with pets or small children.
