Calathea is a tropical plant, particularly decorative, with colorful and varied foliage, native to South America. Calathea is a plant that purifies the air, contributing to a better and healthier indoor climate. 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. Calathea care instructions Placement: shaded space, with indirect light. Humidity: in the warm season, water constantly in small quantities.
Calathea is a sensitive plant to temperature differences. Therefore, it is possible to receive these plants with some defects on the leaves, but these do not affect the viability of the plant.
