The Story Behind This Plant

Calathea Beauty Star originates from the tropical rainforests of South America. It thrives in warm, humid environments under filtered light, mimicking its natural habitat beneath the forest canopy. Its ability to fold its leaves at night has earned Calatheas the nickname "prayer plants."

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. Can tolerate low light but grows best in medium light.
  • Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring proper drainage.
  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Use a humidifier or place the plant near a pebble tray with water.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with added perlite or peat moss.
