Calathea Bluegrass - 35 cm - Ø12cm

A fresh, elegantly marked houseplant with a tropical flair

The Calathea Bluegrass stands out with its graceful, slender leaves and subtly varied leaf patterns in shades of green. As a typical Calathea, it brings a tropical, serene ambiance to the home and displays its character through the well-known leaf movement: open during the day, closing at night – the characteristic ‘prayer plant’ rhythm.

🌞 Location

Calathea species prefer bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause leaf discoloration, while too little light reduces color intensity. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal.

💧 Water requirements

• Keep the soil lightly moist, but prevent the plant from sitting in water.
• Allow the top layer of potting soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
• Calatheas are sensitive to lime and minerals — filtered water is recommended.
  
  

🌡️ Temperature & humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–27°C
• Calatheas love high humidity; perfect for a bathroom or kitchen, or in combination with a humidifier.
• Avoid drafts or dry air (e.g., air conditioning or heating).
  
  

🌱 Care & extra tips

• Use airy, well-draining potting soil.
• Fertilize lightly monthly in spring and summer.
• Occasionally dust the leaves to keep the markings clearly visible.
