The Calathea Burle Marx, commonly called the Prayer Plant is a global sweetheart in the indoor plant scene owing to his beautiful foliage featuring silvery green leaves with alternating stripes. Named after the famous Brazilian artist and landscape designer – Roberto Burle Marxii, it truly is a piece of art that will be a great addition to any space.
- A single Calathea live plant can instantly add texture and colour to your minimalist home decor. You can also group different species of Calatheas together to make a pretty green corner which is so soothing to the eye. We highly recommend using a monochrome or metallic planter to bring out the leaf variegations of your Calathea. Display your Calathea below the eye level to enjoy the stunning leaf patterns.
- Live Calatheas plants are known to be temperamental. But, with the right amount of water and indirect light they are a treat. Keep your Calathea near an East or North facing windows of bedroom and living for a full day of indrect light or in offices, lobbies, cubicles or meeting rooms.
- Calatheas prefer bright ,indirect sunlight. Keep your Calathea away from direct sunlight at all times. It is best suited as indoor live plant or for shaded balcony garden.
- Calatheas can be propagated by division of the main rhizome after the parent plant has grown enough in size and is mature. It can also be propagated by stem cuttings.
- Repot your Calathea annually in rich well-draining soil in a one size larger pot when it outgrows its current pot.
