Calathea Concinna Freddie

Calathea 'Freddie' exhibits nyctinasty, a natural behavior where the plant adjusts its leaf position in response to light. You will notice the leaves fold upward at night and unfurl during the day, which is a healthy sign that the plant is responding to its environment.

Calatheas are generally considered intermediate-level plants. They thrive in consistent humidity and prefer to stay evenly moist, so they require a bit more attention than a standard succulent or snake plant.

No, the plant arrives in a standard 4-inch plastic nursery pot. You will need to purchase a separate decorative planter or cachepot to house it once it arrives.

This variety prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the patterned foliage and fade its unique markings.

Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. A good rule of thumb is to water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and always ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
