Prized for their ornate foliage patterns and colors and related to prayer plants (marantas), calatheas bring stunning beauty to home decor as tropical houseplants. This grower’s choice calathea assortment is a hand-selected variety of fully rooted plants in 4″ nursery pots, reflecting the gorgeous diversity of calathea foliage in size and shape. Our assorted collection of live foliage plants may include varieties such as Calathea ornata (pinstripe calathea) or Calathea makoyana (peacock plant). Pinstripe calathea features pink or white pinstripes on dark green leaves. The underside is maroon. The attractive patterns on peacock plant’s leaves resemble a certain famous bird’s tail feathers. Calathea lancifolia (rattlesnake plant) sports wavy blade-shaped leaves that are bright green on top and overlaid with alternating dark green leaf-like markings. Other possibilities include Calathea orbifolia, with its oval-shaped leaves and contrasting green stripes, and Calathea roseopicta ‘Purple Rose’ or purple prayer plant, which stands out with its dark pink color. These live plants in pots display well with air plants, aloe vera, flowers, a snake plant, a monstera plant, a spider plant, or pothos.Calatheas desire medium to bright, indirect light, but tolerate low light. Being tropical plants they prefer temps in the range of 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid placing your calatheas next to drafty doors or windows during cold weather. To better mimic the humidity of their native habitat, consider using a humidifier or plant mister filled with filtered water or a pebble tray. Benefit from being planted in potting soil. You can feed them with a general houseplant fertilizer during the growing season.
AIR PURIFIER: These houseplants live indoor easily, removing toxins from the air. Growing air purifying plants indoor has benefits beyond their cleansing powers – they complement other green plants and low light house plants in your indoor garden.
PLANT DECOR: Our house plants live & thrive with minimal care, making indoor plant growing easy. Plant indoor in a plant stand or hanging planter & enjoy the beauty of living plants. Our small house plants are also easy to display as a window plant.
OUTDOOR PLANTS: Calathea thrive as an outdoor plant in warm climates. Display as a floor plant to liven up your patio, or plant in your outdoor garden with unique plants & other calathea, like a rattlesnake plant, a zebra plant & a peacock plant.
NON-TOXIC: If you have furry companions, you’ll be thrilled to learn that calathea is non-toxic to cats and dogs! Your pets will not be harmed by rubbing on, eating, or otherwise interacting with it — the only thing that may be compromised is the beauty of your calathea, so we recommend displaying your new plant out of reach of curious, high energy animals.
