VELVET CALATHEA // CALATHEA RUFIBARBA
The Velvet Calathea is a striking tropical plant. It has long patterned wavy leaves which are dark and bright green and have a vibrant purple underbelly. It has been said that the velvety tactile nature of this plant promotes a sense of relaxation and well-being.
It is an excellent air purifier. It loves a humid climate which you can recreate by misting it regularly. Keep it toasty at an even temperature, away from chilly or draughty spots.
Calatheas love rainwater and really dislike the chemicals in normal tap water.
