Pike Nursery Calathea

This plant thrives in medium indoor light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in deep shade, which will cause the vibrant patterns to fade.

It requires a bit more attention than the average houseplant. You will need to keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a humid environment to prevent the leaf edges from browning.

At maturity, you can expect this Calathea to reach about 24 inches in height and 18 inches in width. Its slow growth rate makes it an excellent choice for tabletops or shelves where you don't want a plant that will quickly outgrow its space.

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. It is best to water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

The deep purple underside is a natural characteristic of this variety, providing a dramatic contrast to the patterned green and silver topside. It is a signature feature that adds to the plant's tropical, ornamental appeal.
