Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar'

Calathea rufibarba 'Wavestar' is a tropical plant, exceptionally decorative, with colorful and varied foliage, native to South America. Calathea is a plant that truly purifies the air, contributing to a better and healthier indoor climate.
Calathea is also special for another reason: at night its leaves close and in the morning they open again! This is why Calathea is also called the "living plant." The plant owes this ability to a small "joint" between the leaves and the stem. Light moves the joints and, as a result, Calathea’s leaves open and close – sometimes accompanied by a rustling sound.
Placement: shaded area, with indirect light. It does not tolerate drafts or very low temperatures during winter. In summer it feels good in a cooler place; in excessive heat the leaves get spotted.
Watering: water moderately, allowing the soil to dry partially.
Humidity: it thrives better when humidity is higher.
