Calathea Picturata is a tropical houseplant admired for its beautifully patterned leaves. The leaves feature a silvery-green center bordered by a darker green edge, creating a striking contrast. Its elegant foliage and air-purifying qualities make it a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts seeking a decorative, low-light option.
Water Requirements:
This plant prefers consistently moist soil, so water when the top inch feels dry. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Calathea Picturata thrives in high humidity, so misting or placing it near a humidifier will help keep its foliage healthy.
Light Requirements:
Calathea Picturata does best in low to moderate, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, while low light can dull its vibrant colors. Filtered or shaded light is ideal for maintaining the plant’s variegation.
Pet Safety:
Calathea Picturata is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for homes with cats or dogs.
