Scientific Name: Calathea roseopicta Synonym: Rose Painted Calathea Striking pink-tinged foliage High fascination value Curious, shiny, patterned foliage Great for bathroom with high humidity If we were a plant, we'd like to be born into the Calathea Family. Truly, a Calathea Family gathering would be nothing short of a riot of colour, shapes and patterns: A glorious celebration of what Plants have on offer. Real Show-ers. The Calathea Roseopicta has subtle, elegant, two-tone concentric patterning. Its unique shades of green-grey with splashes of pink colouring will fit almost any planter, giving the plant appreciator a wide variety of choices. Roseopicta is also one of the more mobile Calatheas: do not be surprised if this Calathea houseplant flips up its leaves at night when it goes to rest. These beauties love a medium- to bright, warm and humid position, making them ideal for a well-lit bathroom or kitchen; however, they will thrive in basic living areas as long as extra attention is paid to this extraordinary plant, such as being sure to never let it dry out. Place this beauty on a well-styled shelf and allow it to be the centre of attention. CARE INSTRUCTIONS Follow these instructions to keep your Calathea Roseopicta healthy and happy.
