Goeppertia orbifolia
calathea
Impressive, orb-shaped foliage with very attractive broad, silvery striped green leaves. Native to Bolivia in South America, this unusual calathea would be the perfect foil for the architectural kentia palm.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Goeppertia orbifolia:
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.
