€29,95
Full description and specifications
Calathea Flamestar, peacock plant - brightly colored, decorative and air purifying plant!
Calathea is also special for another reason: its leaves close at night and open again in the morning! This is the reason why Calathea is also called "living plant". The plant owes this ability to a small "joint" between the leaves and the stem. The light moves the joints and, as a result, the leaves of the Calathea open and close - sometimes accompanied by a rustling sound.
Placement: shaded space, with indirect light. It does not tolerate drafts and too low temperatures in winter. In the summer they feel good in a cooler place; in excessive heat, the leaves get stained.
Water: water moderately, letting the soil partially dry
Humidity: it does better when the humidity is higher.
Height with pots included 70-75 cm
Pot diameter 19 cm
