Calathea makoyana 9cm

🦚 Calathea makoyana

Patterned. Obscure. Tropical elegance. This obscure Brazilian native flaunts translucent, oval leaves etched with feathered green markings and rich purple undersides — like stained glass in motion. A standout for low-light interiors and curated plant shelves.

🌿 Care Guide

Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun — it fades and scorches. Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Let top inch dry before watering. Humidity: High humidity (60–80%) essential. Mist, use a pebble tray, or grow in a cabinet. Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C. Protect from drafts and sudden drops. Feeding: Every 4–6 weeks in spring–summer with diluted balanced feed. Soil: Loose, moisture-retentive mix — peat-free compost with perlite and orchid bark
