Calathea 'Velvet Glory' (Pot Size 14cm)

Calathea 'Velvet Glory' is a stunning tropical houseplant prized for its extraordinary deeply patterned leaves with a distinctive soft, velvety texture. The foliage displays a rich dark green surface with elegant rippled patterns, whilst the undersides reveal deep burgundy-this striking contrast becomes especially visible as the leaves move throughout the day in their characteristic prayer plant movement.This sophisticated plant originates from South American tropical rainforests and brings a touch of drama to any indoor space. The clumping growth habit creates a naturally full, bushy appearance as multiple stems emerge from the base.Place your Calathea 'Velvet Glory' in bright, indirect light, away from direct sun which can damage the delicate leaf surface. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, using filtered or dechlorinated water to prevent leaf damage. This plant thrives in warm temperatures between 18-26°C and is happiest with elevated humidity levels above 60%; consider using a pebble tray or regular misting to maintain these conditions. Fertilise every four weeks during the growing season with a diluted, balanced houseplant feed. Calathea 'Velvet Glory' is completely safe for homes with cats and dogs.
