About:
Tropical indoor flair for all living spaces! The Velvet Calathea, or Furry Leaf, gets its name from tiny hairs that cover its waxy leaves and stems and give the plant a soft, velvety feel. Calathea rufibarba is a tall Calathea variety with red stems and deep blue-green elongated leaves with a dark purple underside.
Care:
Light: Diffused light.
Water: Keep soil damp at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think little and often as a watering policy.
Humidity: High humidity levels are a must. Stand on a wet pebble tray to improve humidity and mist frequently. Good in a shower room.
