📌 Note

The shape, color intensity, and proportion of the silver and green areas may naturally vary from one leaf to another and from one plant to another.

Calathea is sensitive to very dry air, hard water, and sudden temperature fluctuations. The leaves may have dry edges, small spots, curled areas, or other cosmetic imperfections, especially after shipping or while acclimating. These issues do not normally affect the plant's viability.
