Calathea Stella 4"
$18.00
Meet the Calathea Stella — a living work of art that commands attention in any interior. Its lance-shaped leaves are painted with silvery-green brushstrokes over a deep emerald base, while the undersides reveal a rich burgundy that catches the light with every gentle movement. True to its prayer plant heritage, the Stella folds its leaves upward at dusk in a nightly ritual that never gets old. A collector-grade specimen that elevates any curated plant shelf or statement corner.
Care Guide
- Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the delicate patterning. North or east-facing windows are ideal.
- Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil is dry — typically every 5–7 days.
- Humidity: Thrives in 60%+ humidity. Use a pebble tray, humidifier, or group with other tropicals.
- Temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and AC vents.
- Soil: Well-draining, peat-based or coco coir mix with good aeration.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.
- Repotting: Every 1–2 years in spring when rootbound.
- Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets and humans. ✓
