Calathea roseopicta 'Red Mojo', also known as Goeppertia roseopicta, is a captivating tropical plant valued for its brilliantly coloured leaves. Native to the rainforests of South America, this plant not only showcases remarkable foliage but also exhibits a rhythmic leaf movement known as nyctinasty-folding its leaves upward at night, reminiscent of hands in prayer.
Distinctive Features:
Foliage: Deep green, glossy leaves vividly contrasted by bright pinkish-red undersides and intricate vein patterns.
Growth Habit: Clumping growth, compact in form, making it ideal for table-top displays or floor containers.
Movement: Fascinating nightly leaf movement, folding upwards in a prayer-like gesture, adding dynamic interest to your indoor space.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Water: Maintain moist but not waterlogged soil; water regularly when the top 2 cm of the soil feels dry.
Humidity: Requires high humidity; mist regularly or place on a humidity tray.
Media: Use well-draining, peat-based potting compost mixed with perlite for optimal growth.
Temperature: Thrives between 18-26°C; avoid drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Fertiliser: Apply balanced liquid fertiliser every four weeks during the growing season.
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years during spring or early summer into a slightly larger container.
