The Calathea Rosy is pretty in pink!
This gorgeous houseplant has lush grey foliage edged in a deep green and flushes of pink, adding a striking contrast to any interior space. What's not to love?
Like with all Calathea houseplants these love high humidity and medium to bright filtered light. To thrive keep them consistently moist but avoid allowing the potting medium to stay soggy nor allow them to dry out. So be prepared, they can bit a touch diva-ish if not treated with attention.
Calathea houseplants make for fabulous accent pieces in a brightly lit bathroom or kitchen where humidity is naturally higher, though will happily live in any general living space as long as humidity is provided to them, achieve this by placing your plant on a pebble tray.
Pair this subtle beauty with a pretty planter that will allow the foliage to be its focal point and use it as a tabletop feature or bookshelf stunner. Whichever spot you choose, these plants will captivate you.
