About the Product

Calathea is a tropical ornamental plant loved for its striking, patterned leaves that fold slightly at night, earning it the nickname “prayer plant.” In Kerala’s warm and humid climate, Calathea grows very well as an indoor or shaded outdoor plant. It prefers indirect light (no harsh direct sun), high humidity, and consistently moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Ideal temperatures range between 18–30°C, which suits Kerala perfectly. Regular misting or placement in naturally humid spaces like balconies or verandas helps maintain healthy foliage. Avoid waterlogging, and use filtered or rainwater if possible, as Calathea can be sensitive to hard water. With proper care, it remains lush and vibrant year-round.
