A Note on Size

The 14cm nursery pot refers to the diameter of the pot, not the height of the plant. As each plant is naturally different, size and fullness may vary slightly from the product image.

Plant Care

Calathea Makoyana prefers consistent moisture, gentle indirect light and a humid environment. Filtered water is best, as this plant can be sensitive to minerals and chemicals commonly found in tap water. Rainwater or distilled water are also suitable alternatives. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, and keep the plant away from harsh direct sunlight and cold draughts.
