Calathea, known for its striking foliage, belongs to a genus of plants native to the tropical Americas. These plants are prized for their vibrant patterns and colors, making them popular choices for indoor gardens and as ornamental houseplants. Calatheas are often called “prayer plants” due to their unique habit of folding their leaves upwards at night, resembling hands in prayer.
Caring for Calatheas requires attention to their specific needs. They thrive in indirect light and prefer consistently moist, well-draining soil. These plants are sensitive to direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. Maintaining high humidity levels is crucial, as they originate from humid rainforest environments.
Calatheas are not just visually stunning; they also contribute to indoor air quality by filtering out pollutants. Their lush foliage adds a tropical ambiance to any space, making them a favorite among plant enthusiasts and interior decorators alike.
