Calathea Medallion, also known as Calathea veitchiana, is a popular houseplant known for its large, round leaves with intricate patterns. The top of each leaf has a deep green background with bold, white or silver patterns that resemble a medallion, while the undersides are a rich, purplish-red. This plant is perfect for adding color and texture to an indoor space and is highly valued for its ornamental foliage.
Water Requirements:
Calathea Medallion prefers consistently moist but not soggy soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and avoid letting it dry out completely. High humidity is ideal, so misting the leaves or using a humidifier will help maintain vibrant, healthy foliage.
Light Requirements:
This plant thrives in low to moderate, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn its leaves, while low, indirect light helps keep the colors rich and prevents leaf fading. It’s best suited for areas with diffused or filtered light.
Pet Safety:
Calathea Medallion is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe option for homes with animals.
