Costa Farms Calathea House Plant

Grower's Choice means our team selects the healthiest, most vibrant Calathea variety available at the time of your order. Because we hand-pick these based on current quality, you won't be able to choose a specific variety, but you are guaranteed a high-quality, thriving plant.

The planter features a built-in reservoir that holds water at the base, allowing the plant to draw up moisture as needed through its roots. This helps maintain consistent soil hydration and prevents the common issue of over- or under-watering.

Calatheas have a reputation for being a bit fussy, but the self-watering system significantly simplifies their care. They prefer consistent moisture and bright, indirect light, so avoid placing them in direct sun or near drafty vents.

This is a natural behavior known as nyctinasty. Calatheas fold their leaves upward at night and open them wide during the day to maximize light exposure, which is why they are often called 'prayer plants.'

Yes, like many houseplants, Calatheas help filter common indoor toxins from the air. While they aren't a replacement for an air purifier, they contribute to a healthier indoor environment by absorbing pollutants through their leaves.

Place your Calathea in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight, such as near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a south-facing one. They thrive in standard household temperatures between 65-80°F, making them perfect for desks, tabletops, or shelves.
