Calathea is a genus of several dozen species within the Marantaceae family, native to Brazil and Central America.

They are surprisingly durable plants, and can bounce right back from dehydration.
In its natural habitat, the calathea is a forest floor dwelling plant which enjoys the shade provided by the plush tropical canopy over head. While it can survive in low light conditions, it may lose its striking color.
Stands 6" - 10" tall. Nursery pot diameter is 4"
Medium Light. This plant will do best in a bright location with mostly indirect light.

HUMIDITY PREFERENCE
Medium humidity. Calathea will appreciate an occasional misting.
