Calathea Beauty Star

A stunning Calathea, Beauty Star features bright green and lime coloured leaves strikingly marked with light cream and pink pinstripes. The undersides of the leaf are also truly magnificent showing off a purple glow.

Calathea are a very popular and hardy member of the Prayer Plant family that is suitable for an indoor position or in a warmer climate, grown outside in a sheltered position. The contrasting markings on the foliage adds colour, life and air cleaning properties to your indoor area, and in warmer climates, these gorgeous plants will brighten up a sheltered shady position outside. Calathea will flower, but as the flowers are not very showy, it is recommended that they are pinched out so the plant puts most of its energy into producing the luxurious foliage.

Perfect for pots, Calathea requires a well drained soil and a brightly lit position out of direct sunlight. Preferring light humidity, Calathea appreciate regular watering, but do not let the plant become waterlogged as this will cause fungal issues and most likely death, particularly during Winter. For best results fertilise regularly with a slow release fertiliser and repot every few year using a good quality potting mix for indoor plants.
