How will a Calathea fit into my home décor?

• Works well on side tables, plant stands, or desktop spots
• Creates a natural accent without overpowering small rooms
• Pairs nicely with neutral textiles and wooden furniture

What does ‘easy care’ actually mean for this Calathea?

This Calathea thrives with moderate, indirect light and consistent moisture—no full sun required. It prefers evenly moist potting mix and occasional misting in dry indoor air. Routine, simple care keeps its foliage vibrant without specialized equipment.

• Bright, indirect light or shaded spots are fine
• Water when the top soil feels slightly dry; avoid waterlogging
• Room temperatures and occasional humidity boosts help leaf condition

Can this plant affect indoor air and well-being?

Adding living plants like the Calathea contributes visual comfort and a sense of calm that many people find restorative.

The Calathea’s movement and patterned leaves also add a tactile, relaxing presence to a room.

• Introduces a quiet, natural focal point for relaxation

How does it arrive and what should I do first?

Your Costa Farms Calathea ships freshly cultivated and secured in protective packaging for safe transit.

If repotting, choose a well-draining indoor potting mix and a container with drainage holes.

• Unpack carefully and inspect for any transit stress
• Acclimate in indirect light for 24–48 hours before major changes
• Water moderately and avoid sudden exposure to direct sun
