Baby Plants - Calathea Roseopicta Green

Calathea Roseopicta, also known as the prayer plant or Calathea dottie, is a stunning indoor plant native to Brazil’s tropical forests and a lover of highly humid environments. It displays large, oval green leaves with a glossy sheen and pretty, light markings along the edges and through the middles.

The tropical Calathea will need bright, indirect light, high humidity and regular watering. Keep the soil moist and well-drained, avoiding waterlogging. Perhaps a bit fussy, it’s well worth the effort of keeping the lovely Roseopicta for its beautifully marked, large leaves, year-round foliage and air purifying qualities.

Growing your Calathea from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
