Key Features:

✔ Unique feather-like leaf pattern in shades of green
✔ Upright, bushy form with soft, flowing foliage
✔ Non-toxic and pet-friendly
✔ Displays gentle leaf movement day and night
✔ Perfect for bright rooms with indirect light

Care Instructions:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy – water when the top inch begins to dry

Humidity: High humidity is essential – mist daily or place near a humidifier

Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-rich potting mix with good moisture retention

Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted houseplant fertiliser

Temperature: Maintain a warm environment (18–26°C) – avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops

🌿 Tip: Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater if possible – Calatheas can be sensitive to salts and chemicals in tap water, which may cause leaf edges to brown.
