The Story Behind This Plant

Calathea Freddie (Calathea concinna 'Freddie') originates from the tropical rainforests of South America, where it thrives in shaded, humid conditions under the forest canopy.

Bring Home the Calathea Freddie

We hand pick each Calathea Freddie and pack it carefully so it arrives in good shape anywhere in Ontario or Quebec.

Light: Medium - Bright

This plant thrives in low to medium light conditions. Avoid exposing it to harsh, direct sunlight, as this can cause its vibrant foliage to fade or burn. Instead, opt for a location with bright, indirect light, such as near a curtain-filtered window.

Sun: Indirect

Calathea Freddie prefers bright, indirect sunlight, making it ideal for placement near a north or east-facing window where it can receive gentle, filtered light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, so it's best to avoid placing it in direct sun.

Water: When half dry

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your Calathea Freddie when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, typically once or twice a week. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent water accumulation, which can lead to root rot.

Humidity: High

Calathea Freddie prefers high humidity levels, similar to its native tropical habitat. To increase humidity, place a humidifier nearby or place the plant on a pebble-filled tray filled with water. Misting the leaves regularly can also help maintain adequate humidity levels.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Calathea Freddie is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with cats or dogs. However, it's essential to prevent pets from chewing or ingesting the plant's leaves, as they may still cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort if consumed in large quantities.

Pro Tip

To prevent the edges of the leaves from browning or curling, use distilled or filtered water when watering your Calathea Freddie. Tap water can contain minerals and chemicals that may harm the plant over time.
