The Calathea Orbifolia is a beautiful plant to place indoors. With its exquisite array of beauty in the green foliage colouring and unique structure of leaves and the way they droop over each other, it’s no surprise that this air-purifying plant is much sought after. The green foliage is joined by silver-green subtle stripes on top, adding an element of class and style to the Peacock Plant.
 
As with most variegated plants, Calathea need plenty of diffused light. Direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose their markings. They can tolerate some degree of shade, but the more indirect light, the finer the foliage.
 
Watering
Calathea must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think 'little and often' as a watering policy.
 
Temperature
Prefers warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-23°C, but can cope with as low as 15°C. Avoid draughts and ensure the plant has reasonable ventilation.
 
Humidity
High humidity levels are a must. Mist frequently to improve humidity conditions and pop it near the shower from time-to-time to give it an extra boost.
