Calathea warscewiczii – Jungle Velvet Calathea

🌿💚✨

The Calathea warscewiczii, also known as the Jungle Velvet Calathea, is a truly elegant tropical houseplant admired for its soft, velvety foliage. Its elongated, dark green leaves feature striking light green patterns on top and rich burgundy-purple undersides, creating a luxurious contrast that stands out in any indoor jungle.

Key Features:

✔ Velvety, patterned foliage with deep green and lime markings

✔ Burgundy-purple undersides that add rich contrast

✔ Excellent for low-light interiors, adding lush tropical depth

✔ Naturally air-purifying, improving indoor air quality

✔ A graceful, statement plant for shaded or softly lit spaces

Care Instructions:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top 2–3 cm to dry slightly between waterings

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity – mist regularly or use a humidifier to keep leaves lush

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix suitable for tropical houseplants

Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid feed

Temperature: Ideal range is 18–26°C; avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature drops

Growth: Typically reaches 45–75 cm tall indoors

🌿 Tip: Use filtered or rainwater when watering, as Calatheas are sensitive to chemicals in tap water — keeping those velvety leaves at their healthiest and most vibrant.
