Calathea warscewiczii 'Tigrina'

Like most Calatheas, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade its unique patterns.

This cultivar prefers high humidity levels to keep its foliage healthy and prevent crispy edges. You can maintain this by using a humidifier, grouping it with other plants, or placing it on a pebble tray.

Calatheas can be a bit finicky regarding water quality and humidity, so they are generally better suited for those with some plant experience. If you can maintain consistent moisture and environment, it will reward you with beautiful, exotic foliage.

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. It is best to use filtered or distilled water, as Calatheas can be sensitive to the minerals and chemicals found in standard tap water.

While it is primarily grown for its striking foliage, it is a flowering plant. Under optimal indoor conditions, it can produce unique, cone-like inflorescences, though blooming is less frequent than leaf growth.
