Calathea Roseopicta is a tropical houseplant known for its large, rounded leaves patterned with deep green, soft pink, and silvery tones. Native to Brazil, its colorful foliage looks almost hand-painted, which fits its name — roseopicta means “rose-painted.” Like other prayer plants, its leaves naturally lift and fold as light levels change, revealing rich burgundy-purple undersides. Calathea Roseopicta grows best inbright indirect light, warm temperatures, and higher humidity, making it a beautiful choice forliving rooms, bedrooms, offices, and plant shelves.

care

Place in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect light and keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Mist leaves regularly or place near a humidifier to maintain the high humidity this plant loves. Feed monthly with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer and skip in fall and winter. Remove any yellowing leaves and wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep their stunning painted pattern looking its best year-round.
