Calathea orbifolia<\/em> features impressive and lush foliage. It’s the ultimate expression of exoticism and tropical flair, displayed in its large leaves with a lovely textured appearance (leather-like to the touch), green tones and light stripes, making this plant one of the trendiest, probably a favorite in interior decoration. However, like all Calatheas, it won’t be the right choice for those wanting to start out in the world of plants, as keeping this natural wonder healthy can be challenging. Native to tropical climates, it likes plenty of indirect\/filtered light, as in its natural habitat it lives beneath larger species that prevent the direct sun from scorching it or damaging its delicate leaves. And it thrives in environments with high relative humidity (which we often don’t have in our homes), as befits a native of South American tropical forests. To make things a bit more complicated, like its relatives, it loves being watered with rainwater or mineral water and is very sensitive to waterlogging, so attention must be paid to stagnant water in saucers or decorative pots without drainage holes. On the plus side, it\u2019s another plant in the \u201cair-purifying\u201d group and it\u2019s pet-friendly, making it the right choice to bring nature and sophistication into your home.<\/p>\n

Fun fact<\/strong>: Like all Calatheas, it’s also called a “Prayer Plant” because its leaves move, changing position throughout the day. But watch out! If you notice the leaves don\u2019t show this movement, it may mean your Calathea<\/em> is thirsty. <\/p>\n
