Product Description
The Calathea Warscewiczii is a special houseplant with a truly beautiful look. The tops of its oval leaves are green, each with a pattern of its own, while the undersides are a deep purple. Calathea plants originally come from the Amazon region and are true shade plants.
What makes this houseplant really special is that the leaves genuinely seem to 'live'. In the evening the leaves close, only to open again in the morning. The Greek name for this houseplant is 'kalathos', meaning basket, which refers to the shape of its leaves.
Care & tips for the Calathea Warscewiczii 90cm
The Calathea Warscewiczii is a houseplant that needs a little more attention and care than other houseplants. In return, you get a very special houseplant that will stand out in any room. On older leaves the pattern will fade; this is a natural process and you can safely snip those leaves off. If the plant stands somewhere with low humidity, it'll become less healthy. You can see this for yourself, as the colours and shapes will lose their intensity. That's why we recommend misting the Calathea Warscewiczii every week to keep it as healthy as possible.
How much water does the Calathea Warscewiczii 90cm need?
Even though the Calathea Warscewiczii is a shade plant, it uses a relatively large amount of water. It's better to give this houseplant small amounts of water several times than one large amount in one go. In summer this houseplant can do with watering twice a week, as the soil should always be slightly moist. In the winter months the Calathea Warscewiczii uses less water, so it needs less too. The amount and frequency of watering differ from plant to plant, so we recommend getting a feel for it at first.
How much light does the Calathea Warscewiczii 90cm need?
The Calathea Warscewiczii needs little light, making it the perfect plant for a bare corner of your home. A spot in partial shade without direct sunlight will do this houseplant good. Too much sunlight damages the leaves and leads to brown edges. The Calathea Warscewiczii originally comes from the jungle and loves high humidity, so we recommend misting this houseplant regularly and keeping it away from radiators.
Is the Calathea Warscewiczii 90cm a toxic houseplant?
The Calathea Warscewiczii is a child- and pet-friendly plant, as it isn't toxic at all. Even so, we advise against eating this houseplant or using it in any products.
