    Overview

    This plant has stunning patterned silvery-green leaves with deep purple undersides. Related to the Calathea family which boasts a huge variety of beautiful patterned and colourful leaves. This plant is native to South-east Brazil and first appeared as an unusual variety of the 'Fishbone prayer plant' in Belgium.

    Quick Care Guide

    Care Difficulty: This plant has moderate care needs.

    Light requirements: As an indoor plant, it requires bright but indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Avoid cold draughts.

    Watering: Water the plant thoroughly after allowing the top 2 inches of soil to dry out. This plant does not like overwatering so make sure the soil has sufficient drainage and that the pot has drainage holes.

    Humidity: Loves humidity. Grouping humidity-loving plants together can help, as can placing pots of a wet pebble tray. You can mist the area around the foliage although this will only increase humidity temporarily. Be cautious to not mist excessively as this can lead to fungal issues. Humidifiers are also beneficial to increase humidity. Kitchen or bathrooms are ideal.

    Toxicity: Non toxic to pets & humans.

    Feeding: Can be fed in the growing season during spring and summer every 4 weeks, but refrain from feeding in winter.

    Repotting: Can be repotted every 2-3 years or when it has outgrown its current pot. Look for roots coming out the drainage holes.

    Leaf health: As with all houseplants, the build-up of dust on the foliage can be detrimental, ensure you are wiping the leaves clean with a damp cloth.
