Costa Farms Calathea

No, these plants are not considered pet-friendly. It is best to keep them in a location that your cats or dogs cannot easily access.

Calatheas prefer low to bright indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, which can scorch their patterned leaves and fade their vibrant colors.

You should aim to water these plants weekly. They prefer consistent moisture, so check that the top inch of soil is slightly dry before watering again, and be careful not to let them sit in standing water.

No, they arrive ready to display in their own pots. You can enjoy them as-is, and they will only need repotting once they have outgrown their current containers, which typically happens after a year or two.

Calatheas are known for being light-responsive. Their leaves naturally fold up at night and open during the day to maximize light absorption, a fascinating behavior often referred to as 'prayer plant' movement.

When fully mature, these Calatheas will reach a height of 26 to 36 inches. They are excellent for filling vertical space in corners or on plant stands.
