✨ Design & Décor Highlights

Calathea Rufibarba is the definition of natural elegance. Its velvety foliage and upright growth pattern make it ideal for modern homes, hotel interiors, and office spaces.

🪴 Care Instructions

• Place the plant in bright, indirect light or partial shade – avoid direct sun.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
• Maintain humidity using regular misting or by keeping near other tropical plants.
• Use filtered or rainwater for best results, as Calathea dislikes hard water.
• Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
• Wipe the leaves occasionally with a soft cloth to keep them dust-free and vibrant.
• Ideal temperature range: 18 °C – 28 °C.
