calathea whitestar

Also known as: Majestic Prayer Plant, White Star Calathea, Pinstripe Calathea

Calathea White Star is an elegant tropical houseplant known for its long, oval leaves covered in beautiful white and soft pink striping. Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, its detailed variegation looks almost hand-painted, while rich purple undersides add even more contrast. Like other prayer plants, its leaves naturally lift and fold as light levels change throughout the day. Calathea White Star grows best in bright indirect light, warm temperatures, and higher humidity, making it a beautiful choice for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and plant collections.

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 white and pink striping looking its best year-round.
