Description
This Calathea has glossy leaves in deep crimson and wine-red with a pink blush, making it one of the boldest foliage plants in the range. A single plant is enough to anchor a shelf or side table.
Give it filtered light (the colour fades in direct sun), keep the soil lightly moist and raise the humidity. It's non-toxic, so it's safe around cats and dogs.

- Humidity: Loves humidity. Mist a few times a week or keep on a pebble tray, especially with AC running.
- Pet safety: Pet friendly: non-toxic to cats and dogs.
- Care level: Moderate
