release_alert Low Stock - 1 available
Calathea roseopicta 'Rosey' is an attractive cultivar originating from the tropical rainforests of South America, renowned for its striking pink and green patterned leaves. As a member of the Marantaceae family, it features the intriguing ability to move its foliage throughout the day, folding at night and opening again with the dawn.
Distinctive features:
- Vivid foliage: Distinguished by round, dark green leaves intricately patterned with bold, rosy-pink highlights, creating a spectacular contrast.
- Leaf movement: Exhibits rhythmic nyctinastic movements, earning it the nickname 'Prayer Plant'.
- Compact growth: Typically maintains a neat, compact form, ideal for indoor spaces.
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; avoid direct sun exposure to prevent leaf scorch.
- Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; use room-temperature, filtered or rainwater to avoid leaf spotting.
- Humidity: Thrives best in high humidity environments (60-80%); regular misting or placing the pot on a humidity tray is beneficial.
- Media: A well-draining, peat-based potting medium rich in organic matter is ideal.
- Temperature: Optimum growth between 18–26°C; sensitive to drafts and cold temperatures below 15°C.
- Fertiliser: Apply balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during the growing season; dilute to half the recommended strength.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years during spring into slightly larger containers to encourage healthy growth.
