The Calathea originates from the tropical rain forests of Southern America. In these rainforests they grow in the shadows of trees and other big plants, which is why they are also called “Shadow plant”. This beautiful Calathea White Fusion is rare because of her variegated leaves. Asides from that she also has air filtering qualities, so that’s a win-win! The Calathea is also known for folding up her leaves in the evening when she goes to ‘sleep’ and unfolding them again as the first sunrays peak above the horizon. Isn't that beautiful?
The Calathea White Fusion is a tropical house plant which can be quite difficult to care for, there are a few things you should keep in mind. The Calathea White Fusion is also nicknamed “Shadow plant”, and not without reason: this plant is not a fan of sunlight, however she is perfect for filling up a dark spot in your room! You should also keep the air humidity in mind, since the Calathea is a tropical plant and doesn’t fare well in a room with a low humidity. The plant also needs a little bit of lukewarm water about 2 – 3 times a week, this helps to keep her soil slightly moist at all times. It’s better to give her small sips of water several times a week than to give her a lot of water all at once, as a surplus of water can cause root rot. There is also the possibility of your Calathea White Fusion receiving excess calcium which shows in patches on the leaves. In this case it is best to switch to rainwater or boiled water (that has cooled down), the patches will then disappear again over time. The Calathea also loves being misted every week, this helps to keep the air humidity high and the leaves clean of dust. If the leaves of your Calathea start to curl then it is underwatered, indicating that you should either water the plant more often or give it a little more water each time.

Such a beautiful plant. Can't wait for her to perk up and thrive in my home. In love with the colours. She was a little bumped up along with all the others in the package this time. A little squished and bumped but hopefully in a few days they'll all feel much better. Second order from here and I really like the variety offered.
