One of the many types of Calathea this has abundant and very attractive broad silvery striped green leaves. It is native to Bolivia in South America.
Light conditions: keep it happy and place in a spot with bright, indirect light.
Neediness: does require care specifically to ensure that a humid environment is maintained. Remove dust with a damp cloth to unblock the leaves pores. This will help the plant breathe.
Watering: keep the soil moist but not soggy and do not allow to dry out. This plant should be misted regularly to recreate the effects of a humid environment.
Ideal location: bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, studies and bedrooms
Rate of growth: can grow relatively tall for a Calathea, up to 2.5ft
Temperature: keep at normal room temperature, this plant does not like sudden changes in temperature and will not cope with a temperature lower than 12°C.
Pets: this plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs
Sizing: Small: W11cm x H35cm, Medium: W17cm x H50cm, Large: W19cm x H70cm

In short, if anything isn't right with your order we'll sort it.
Your plants have not only been packaged by humans (we’d like to find a robot that could beat our packaging skills) but by our in-house team of plant lovers who have lovingly prepared your order.
If you’re not happy with your plants, let us know within 30 days, by contacting us via live chat, email or phone and a friendly member of our team will do their absolute best to rectify anything that's gone wrong.
It's not just the plants that we care about though, we're pretty proud of our market leading (sustainable) packaging too. We’ve created a family of transport boxes with handles and where possible use our 'anti-roll' device which prevents the plant from travelling around should the box be inadvertently tipped upside down during transit.
Things occasionally go wrong, but we'd like to assure you we're on hand help!
