Calathea warscewiczii “Jungle Velvet”
Â
Calathea warscewiczii originates from Costa Rica. The elongated velvety leaves develop a ruffly texture, have a fishtail pattern in light and dark shades of green with purple undersides. Flower bracts emerge on tall spikes with white petals arising from a cone.Â
~Do Not place in full sun or high light. In the wild Marantaceae are tropical forest floor plants. This means they grow best in bright shade to low light conditions.
~Do Not water with tap water that has not been conditioned. Marantaceae are sensitive to metals or excessive nutrients in the water which may cause leaf edges to crisp or burn.
~Make sure to provide moderate to high levels of humidity. If humidity levels are too low [40% or less], leaf edges may crisp or burn.
