The Calathea picturata Argentea has silvery-green leaves surrounded by a band of dark-green margins. Its evergreen leaves stay with all colours all year round. It has red undersides that are held singly on tall stems.Choose your spot carefully and this gorgeous foliage plant will steal your heart!
As like other Calatheas, they are a little bit fussy, but in our opinion they’re totally worth it!
Fancy a lovely pot to put this beauty in? Here is our collection of pots which fit 17cm to 23cm nursery pots.
Nursery pot size: 17cm
Height (approx.): 65cm
- Natural habitat: The jungles of the Amazon in South America, where they live beneath dense vegetation.
- Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light but will tolerate low indirect light. Direct sun will cause the leaves to fade over time.
- Watering: Ideally keep the soil moist (but not soggy). Do not allow to sit in water. Calatheas prefer distilled or rain water – fussy or what? Leaving a jug or bucket of tap water out for 24 hours before watering should help.
- Humidity: Loves a humid environment. Keep a water filled pebble tray nearby if not keeping in a humid room like a bathroom.
- Temperature: Prefers warm rooms - does not like cold spaces or draughts.
- Pets: Not troublesome to pets.
Note: All our plants are unique, the plant you receive might not be identical to the one photographed but we're sure you're going to love it either way!
