Calathea 'Freddie'

Calathea is a genus of flowering plants in the Marantaceae family, along with Maranta (Prayer Plants) Stromanthe and Ctenanthe. Calathea are among some of the most popular plants kept as houseplants for their striking foliage and vast array of colors. While there are only about 60 species of Calathea, all native to the tropical Americas, many more hybrids and cultivars have made their way in to the world.

Some people struggle with keeping Calathea happy, but in suitable conditions, they can live, grow and thrive for years, growing many feet in height.
Low to medium light is best, as direct sunlight can damage and burn the leaves.  Calathea also require a higher humidity lever,  to more closely match their native habitat. Kitchens and bathrooms are popular spots to keep your Calathea happy. Ideal temperatures are 70-85 °F
