Calathea - Beauty Star

Available for shipping!

Just another beautiful cultivar of the Calathea family, the Beauty Star is striated with green, pink and silver stripes. Native to South America, these plants are accustomed to a lower light and humid environment, making them especially adaptable to living in our homes as a houseplant.

Light: Calathea thrive in bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some medium to low light conditions. Avoid placing in direct sunlight to prevent leaf discoloration and sunburn. Paling and curling of the leaves can be an indication of too much direct sun.

Water: Make sure to keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Water when soil is dry one to two inches down in the pot. Yellowing of the leaves and stems is a good indicator to pull back on your watering schedule, while curling of the leaves is an indication that your Calathea might need a more frequent drink. 

Humidity: The main trick with Calathea is to maintain a warm, humid environment. We recommend adding a humidifier to your daily plant routine.
