Calathea 'Rosey'

Calathea roseaopicta 'Rosey'

One of the most stunning of Indoor Plants, Rosey will do well in indoor gardens and terrariums. Rosey is slow growing and does not require much maintenance so it can be kept small and compact for long periods; Rosey will also do well in pots in most places indoors but requires heating in colder months.

Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums, potting mix must be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep in some direct sunlight or provide artificial light. Avoid heaters and drafty positions. Fertilizer should be only used if you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertilizer will keep plants shorter and more compact.

Temperatures above 20c will speed up growth, between 15 and 20c grow will be extremely slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact. This Calathea is moderately hardy but will not survive in cold climates without heating. Keep on the dryer side in winter.
