Costa Farms Grower's Choice Calathea Plant

No, you cannot select a specific variety. The grower chooses the healthiest, most vibrant Calathea available at the time of your order, which means the pattern and leaf shape will be a surprise.

The planter features a reservoir system that allows the plant to draw up water as needed through capillary action. This helps keep the soil consistently moist, which is ideal for Calatheas, while reducing the frequency of manual watering.

Calatheas have a reputation for being a bit fussy, but the self-watering pot removes much of the guesswork regarding moisture levels. They thrive in medium, indirect light and appreciate higher humidity, so they are great for bathrooms or kitchens.

The plant arrives at an average height of 10 inches in a 6-inch pot. While growth rates vary by variety, Calatheas are generally slow-growing indoor plants that will stay compact enough for tabletops and shelves for quite some time.
