More About the Calathea Beauty Star

The beauty star is very aptly named, with it stunning leaves, it is a real beauty. Its beautiful green and silver patterned foliage is sure to draw the eye.

Calathea beauty star is not just easy on the eye, it is easy to care for too. It loves bright indirect light, but it will grow in low light too making it ideal for lots of spots in the home or office.

We love its ability to close its leaves at night and open them again in the morning - a process known as nyctinasty - which is why it is often called the prayer plan. This adds to the impressiveness of this already amazing plant - yes we are a real fan!

This houseplant is perfect in almost any room, perfect for the office, a study or living room. It needs a location where it will receive indirect light to mimic their natural environment on the forest floor beneath trees. They do not like continued direct sunlight. They also require a lot of moisture and love a compost blend that will retain moisture well. Having a pot that has drainage is vital too, left in standing water the plant roots will rot.

Calathea beauty star loves a warm temperature, a warm spot will really bring the best out of your plant. A warm spot between 21 and 31 degrees Celsius is ideal, but it will withstand lower temperatures.

If you are looking for a showstopper of a plant, this has to be a contender!
