Thompson and Morgan Calathea Starter Mix Plant Pot 6cm 6 Pack

Behold the captivating Calathea makoyana, affectionately known as the ‘peacock’ plant, a botanical masterpiece that effortlessly evokes a jungle ambiance within your home. This exceptional ensemble features a mix of three distinct varieties, each boasting contrasting leaf shapes and intricate markings, creating an eye-catching focal point for any room.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Calathea makoyana is a champion of air purification, diligently filtering out toxins to maintain a fresh and healthy environment in your home or office.
Cultivation is simple: position your Calathea in a warm room, shielded from cold draughts and radiators. A bright location, away from direct sunlight (which can scorch the delicate leaves), is ideal. Maintain a consistent temperature above 16°C (60°F), with average room temperatures of 18°C (65°F) to 24°C (75°F) being optimal.
Water regularly between spring and autumn, allowing the compost to slightly dry out between waterings. Use tepid rainwater whenever possible, and ensure the pot drains thoroughly after each watering. Reduce watering during winter, but never allow the compost to dry out completely. Feed your Calathea regularly between March and September, during its active growth period.
Calathea thrives in a humid environment; replicate this by placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water. As the water evaporates, it will naturally increase the humidity surrounding the plant. Please note: Decorative pot is not included.
