Calathea Bluerass
Description:
The Calathea Bluegrass is a striking tropical plant celebrated for its lush, patterned foliage and soothing aesthetic. Native to the tropical forests of South America, this unique houseplant showcases elongated, lance-shaped leaves with soft green tones and subtle blueish-silver undersides that create a shimmering, grassy appearance. The elegant foliage gently sways and folds at night, a fascinating trait known as nyctinasty, common in prayer plants.
Calathea Bluegrass adds a touch of serenity and movement to indoor spaces with its graceful leaf patterns and compact growth habit. Though it may occasionally produce small, delicate flowers, the vibrant leaves remain the main visual highlight.
Plant Care:
Light: Prefers medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can bleach or burn the delicate foliage.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry. Use filtered or distilled water if possible, as Calatheas can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water.
Soil: Requires a well-draining, peat-based soil mix with added perlite or orchid bark to support aeration and root health.
Humidity: High humidity is essential. Regular misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier can help maintain optimal conditions.
Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer. Avoid over-fertilizing.
Disclaimer:
Our plants are always supplied in nursery pots. Please note that the size specifications refer to the total height of the plant, including the pot. As you are purchasing a living product, slight variations in height, shape, and fullness are natural and may occur due to seasonality or growing conditions.
