Calathea Houseplants

Calathea, often known as Prayer Plant, is a beloved houseplant recognised for its beautifully patterned leaves that feature various shades of green, purple, and pink. This tropical plant thrives in low to medium light conditions, making it perfect for indoor environments with indirect sunlight. Calathea prefers a consistently moist soil without being waterlogged, so water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It also loves high humidity, so regular misting or a nearby humidifier can help it flourish.

In addition to its striking foliage, Calathea is a relatively low-maintenance plant, ideal for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts. It thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C and should be kept away from drafts and direct sunlight to prevent leaf damage. Regular feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season will keep it healthy and vibrant. With proper care, Calathea can add a lush, decorative touch to any indoor space, enhancing your home with its dynamic and colourful leaves.
