Calathea Roseopicta 'Medallion' 4"

Calathea Roseopicta 'Medallion,' often referred to simply as Calathea 'Medallion,' is a striking tropical plant celebrated for its large, round leaves with bold patterns. The upper side of the foliage displays deep green tones adorned with lighter green and cream markings resembling a medallion, while the undersides are a vibrant purple. This dramatic contrast makes it a standout addition to any indoor space. Its "prayer plant" movement, where the leaves rise and fall with the light, adds a touch of dynamism and intrigue to your home.

Care Guide:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Keep out of direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade the patterns.
• Watering: Maintain evenly moist soil but avoid waterlogging. Use distilled, filtered, or rainwater, as Calatheas are sensitive to tap water minerals.
• Humidity: High humidity is essential. Mist frequently, place on a pebble tray, or use a humidifier to prevent leaf edges from browning.
• Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. A blend with peat moss or coco coir works well to retain moisture while preventing sogginess.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can damage the plant.
• Temperature: Keep in a warm environment between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.
• Pruning: Remove any yellow, crispy, or damaged leaves to maintain its vibrant appearance and encourage healthy growth.
