PlantCityUS Calathea Orbifolia

Yes, the Calathea Orbifolia is non-toxic to both cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for households with curious pets.

This means the plant arrives in a 2-inch nursery pot. It is a young specimen that will need to be acclimated to your home's environment before being repotted into a larger container.

Calathea Orbifolia prefers bright, indirect light. If you can read a book comfortably in the spot without squinting, but the sun isn't hitting the leaves directly, it is likely the perfect location.

Weekly is a general guideline, but you should always check the soil first. Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, as Calatheas prefer consistent moisture but dislike sitting in soggy, waterlogged soil.

While it can tolerate lower light, the striking silver stripes and vibrant green color are best maintained in bright, indirect light. In very dim corners, the plant may grow slower and lose some of its leaf variegation.
