Calathea Crimson – Bold, Jewel-Toned Foliage 🌺🌿

Calathea Crimson (also known as Calathea picturata ‘Crimson’) is a striking tropical houseplant, admired for its vibrant pink to deep magenta leaves, beautifully edged with rich, dark green margins. This bold foliage adds a splash of colour and a luxurious texture to any indoor space.

Key Features:

✔ Vivid crimson-pink centres with dark green edges
✔ Compact, bushy growth – perfect for shelves or tabletops
✔ Non-toxic and pet-friendly
✔ Foliage gently folds upward at night
✔ Great for low to medium light areas

Care Instructions:

• Light: Bright, indirect light – avoid direct sun to prevent leaf fading

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy – use filtered or rainwater if possible

• Humidity: Prefers high humidity – mist regularly or use a humidity tray

• Soil: Well-draining, moisture-retentive mix – coco coir or peat with perlite works well

• Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant feed

• Temperature: Thrives in 18–24°C – keep away from draughts or cold windows

🌿 Tip: Brown edges often mean dry air – raise humidity to keep the leaves lush and vibrant.
