Calathea leopardina & bowl combination

  • Soil: good potting compost
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
  • Current height: approximately 40cm (including pot)

    We love this plant! Bright green leaves decorated with deeper green patterned markings, reminiscent of an animal print, stand out from the plant on strong upright stems creating a well-shaped pretty plant. Choose your spot carefully and this gorgeous foliage plant will steal your heart!

  • Home care: Originating from tropical regions, they like relatively stable temperatures (ideally above 15°C) and a well-lit position that does not get direct sunlight (think steamy jungle!). They like to be kept well watered, although this can be cut back a little in winter, and they thrive in high humidity, so either grow it in a steamy room, mist it with water regularly, and/or sit the pot on a tray of dampened shingle. During the growing season feed regularly with a liquid houseplant fertiliser. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust free.
