Calathea Makoyana - Peacock Calathea

Calathea Makoyana

This beauty just shows why calathea are such a popular addition to any houseplant collection.  With its beautiful patterned leaves that bare a striking resemblance to a peacocks feather (hence the name) it's bound to add some vibrance to your space. These are beautiful paired with our Cosmo pots! In mint or turquoise. 

How to care for your calathea 

Water: They must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think little and often as a watering policy allowing the top 1cm to dry to the touch.

Light: Calathea need plenty of indirect light, no full sun EVER. 

Humidity: They enjoy humidity, brown leaf tips indicate that humidity is too low or that your tap water is to harsh (they love rain water).

Temperature: They like warmth, about 20 degrees C. Please no draughts.
