Green Goddess Calathea

The Green Goddess Calathea is a stunning houseplant with spectacular foliage. The rounded leaves have a slight ripple and provide subtle texture. The dark green leaves are offset by light green along the midrib and bordering the inside of the margin. The light green accents almost look hand-drawn for added visual interest. This Prayer Plant cultivar can be particular about its care but will thrive when you provide what it needs.Best Locations For Growing Green Goddess CalatheaSunlight and humidity are the driving factors when selecting a spot for a Green Goddess Calathea. A naturally humid area like a steamy bathroom or kitchen is ideal.

This Prayer Plant will do well in medium sunlight, but it will develop more intense variegation and grow faster when exposed to bright, indirect sunlight. Keep the delicate leaves away from the damaging rays of direct sunlight.Green Goddess Calathea CareRemove dead, damaged, or dry leaves as necessary. Repot the Green Goddess Calathea annually if the plant has outgrown its pot. Always use a container with drainage holes and give the plant fresh, rich, moist soil that allows water to drain. Calathea plants can proliferate under proper care, so divide the plant as needed.Watering Green Goddess CalatheaCalatheas enjoy deep waterings, but they don’t like overly soggy conditions. Water the Green Goddess Calathea when the top inch of potting soil is dry. Allow the water to drain, and remove excess water from the saucer or cover pot.This tropical plant loves humidity. The Green Goddess Calathea can handle average humidity, but increased humidity is preferred. Low humidity is trouble, and the foliage will develop brown edges.
