Rose-Painted Calathea

Native to Brazil’s rainforest understory, this Calathea is celebrated for its oval leaves painted in deep green margins and rosy centers. A member of the Marantaceae “prayer plant” family, it follows the sun by folding and unfolding, adding a rhythmic presence to your space.

Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates medium shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade its colors.

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide high humidity (50–70%), and temperatures between 65–80°F. Feed monthly during the growing season. Wipe leaves gently to maintain vibrancy.

As a Flare energy plant, its pink-red patterns symbolize passion and transformation—echoing crimson lacquer in Chinese art and pink petals at Hindu festivals. In Feng Shui, red is the Fire element, linked to fame and dynamic energy. Place it in your home’s South sector to boost confidence and social vitality, and keep it near a window for bright, indirect morning light.

Your plant will be carefully packaged with protective sleeves and cushioning to ensure safe arrival. We ship orders within 2–3 business days, and most plants arrive in 3–10 business days depending on your location and plant condition.

Because plants are living beings, some minor imperfections — like a bent leaf or slight soil disturbance — may occur during transit. This is normal and will not affect the plant’s health. We also adjust shipping schedules during severe weather and include heat packs in winter months when needed to protect your plant.
