MODERATE CARE
(Maranta leuconeura var. erythroneura)
(Goeppertia roseopicta)
(Calathea roseopicta ‘rosy roseo’)
Calathea are called prayer plants because the leaves close up at night, like a pair of praying hands. They grow well in medium to bright light but the leaves should be protected from direct sun.
Calathea is excellent at purifying the air of harmful toxins such as: formaldehyde and benzene (which is found in detergents, plastics and pesticides), trichloroethylene (found in dry cleaning solvents), toluene (which is found in paint thinner and nail polish), ammonia and, of course, carbon dioxide.
Calathea like to stay moist but not soggy so water just as the top of the soil dries out. It loves humidity so mist regularly or raise the humidity levels to keep it happy. The leaves will turn brown if it dries out too much or too often.
Keep soil slightly moist, watering when the top inch dries out. Avoid tap water if possible—use filtered or distilled water.
