Calathea 'Kennedy'

No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a room or on a shelf that your pets cannot easily access.

The 'Kennedy' prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sun, which can scorch its patterned leaves, or in low-light corners where its growth will significantly slow down.

This plant is classified as an intermediate care level. Because it requires high humidity and consistent moisture, it is better suited for someone who has some experience with tropical houseplants or is diligent about their care routine.

You can boost humidity by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray filled with water, or placing it near a humidifier. Misting is often insufficient on its own, so these methods are more effective for long-term health.

Yes, this is a flowering variety. While it is primarily grown for its stunning foliage, it can produce flowers when it is happy and well-established in its environment.

No, it arrives in a 4-inch plastic pot and does not require immediate repotting. It is best to let the plant acclimate to your home's environment for a few weeks before considering a move to a new container.
