📄 Product Description

Shrub Calathea Orbifolia Calathea orbifolia, also known as the round-leaf calathea or peacock plant, is a stunning tropical plant prized for its large, round, dark green leaves with silver or light green stripes. It’s part of the Marantaceae family, which includes several other popular houseplants known for their attractive foliage and unique growth habits. Here’s some key information on how to care for a Calathea orbifolia: Dimensions: Small: 30 - 40 CM Large: 60 - 70 CM 1. Light Requirements:Medium to low indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.Too much direct light can also cause the striking markings to fade or diminish.2. Watering:Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.Water with room temperature water. Calatheas can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water, like chlorine or fluoride, so using filtered water is often recommended.During winter months, reduce watering frequency, but still keep the soil lightly moist.3. Humidity:Calathea orbifolia thrives in high humidity (60% or more). Dry air can cause the edges of the leaves to brown.To increase humidity, consider using a humidifier, placing the pot on a tray of pebbles with water, or misting the plant regularly (but don’t overdo it).4. Temperature:Keep the plant in temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid placing it in drafts or near air conditioners or heaters.Calatheas are not frost-tolerant, so make sure to bring them inside if you’re in a cooler climate.5. Soil and Potting:Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for tropical plants. A mix containing peat, perlite, and pine bark works well.Make sure the pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.6. Fertilizing:Feed your Calathea with a balanced liquid fertilizer (diluted to half strength) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.7. Pruning and Maintenance:Remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance. If leaves are turning yellow or brown at the edges, it could be due to inconsistent watering or low humidity.Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust, which can block sunlight and interfere with photosynthesis.8. Propagation:Calathea orbifolia can be propagated by division. Carefully separate the rhizomes when repotting and plant each division in its own pot.9. Common Problems:Brown leaf tips or edges: This can be caused by low humidity or inconsistent watering.Yellowing leaves: Could indicate overwatering or root rot. Check the roots and ensure the soil is draining well.Leaf curling or wilting: Often a sign of underwatering or a sudden drop in temperature.10. Toxicity:Calathea orbifolia is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for homes with animals or small children.With the right care, Calathea orbifolia can thrive and be a stunning addition to your indoor plant collection. Just be mindful of its need for moisture and humidity, and you’ll be rewarded with its beautiful, decorative foliage. *Disclaimer: The graphic is just meant to be used as a guide and illustration purposes.
