Warscewiczii Calathea – 10" Pot

(Calathea warscewiczii)

Bring lush, tropical elegance into your space with the Warscewiczii Calathea, a stunning houseplant known for its velvety, deep green leaves with bold, feather-like patterns and rich burgundy undersides. Native to Central and South America, this variety is prized for its luxurious foliage and dynamic appearance—the leaves even move slightly throughout the day in response to light, a behavior known as nyctinasty.

Housed in a generous 10-inch pot, this Calathea makes a statement piece for any room—ideal for plant lovers looking to add texture, color, and sophistication to their indoor jungle.

🌿 Plant Care Tips:

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves and fade their vibrant colors. Tolerates lower light conditions but may grow more slowly.

Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Use distilled or filtered water if possible, as Calatheas can be sensitive to fluoride and other chemicals in tap water.

Humidity:
Thrives in high humidity. Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or near a humidifier. Dry air can lead to browning leaf edges.

Temperature:
Loves warmth—keep in a room with temperatures between 65–80°F. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.

Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix that retains moisture. A mix formulated for tropical plants or houseplants with added perlite or coco coir is ideal.

Fertilizing:
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring through early fall). No need to fertilize in winter.

Pet Friendly:
Yes! Calathea warscewiczii is non-toxic to pets, making it a great choice for homes with cats or dogs.
