Calathea 'Velvet Glory'
Calathea 'Velvet Glory' is a stunning houseplant loved for its deeply rippled, patterned leaves with a soft, velvety texture. The undersides of the leaves are a deep burgundy, which adds a rich colour contrast when the leaves move throughout the day. Like other Calatheas, this plant exhibits nyctinasty, meaning its leaves fold upwards at night and spread out again in the morning.
The perfect pet-friendly addition for any room!
How to care for your Calathea -
Water: They must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think little and often as a watering policy.
Light: Calathea need plenty of diffused light however direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose their markings.
Humidity: They enjoy humidity, brown leaf tips indicate that humidity is too low.
Temperature: They like warmth, about 20 degrees C.
Toxic to cats & dogs? No
