Calathea Stripestar

Calathea 'Stripestar' is an impressive variety of the Calathea genus, known for its beautiful leaves and distinctive pattern. This plant belongs to the Marantaceae family and originates from the tropical forests of South America, where it grows under the shade of large trees, benefiting from filtered light and high humidity.

• Light: Calathea prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can fade the leaves and cause burns.
• Humidity: The plant loves high humidity, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms or kitchens, or any place where humidity is higher. A humidifier or a tray with pebbles and water can help maintain humidity if the indoor air is dry.
• Water: The soil should be kept moist but not soaked. It is important to allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Calathea prefers temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius and should be protected from cold drafts or temperatures below these limits.
• Fertilizing: During the growing period, it is recommended to apply a balanced fertilizer for indoor plants, diluted, to support growth.

Note: Calathea is a plant sensitive to temperature changes. Therefore, you may receive these plants with some leaf blemishes, but these do not affect the plant's viability.
