CALATHEA ORBIFOLIA

Supplied in nursery pot. Our collection of indoor pots find HERE

The calathea was given its common name, prayer plant, because its leaves fold together at night, like praying hands. If you’re up early enough you’ll see those leaves relax at sunrise, to collect all the day’s rays

 MEDIUM LIGHT

 She’s used to growing in dappled light, so she’s happy in moderate shade to bright, indirect light, i.e. not direct sun.

 WATERING

Check her once a week and if the top two inches of soil are dry it’s time for a drink. She’s less thirsty in winter.                                                                      

 HUMIDITY

 She loves moist air. A bathroom would be perfect, but she’ll also be happy if you mist her every couple of days.
