About the plant:
Calathea or calathea originates from the tropical regions of South and Central America and is a shrub-like plant with thin stems and relatively wide and large leaves. In the rainforest it forms a dense undergrowth, most often in the shade of tall trees. Calathea together with the genera Marantha, Ctenanthe and Stromanthe form a very similar group called praying plants (English They are called prayer plants because they always start to straighten their leaves towards evening, which can resemble hands folded in prayer. In the morning, they open and unfold their leaves again. Calathea are distinguished from other praying mantises in that their leaves grow rolled into cones.

Calathea rufibarba is characterized by elongated leaves that are green on top and purple on the bottom, the leaves and stem are covered with hairs. From May to August, white-green flowers may appear on the stems or near the leaves of the plant.

Light

The plant needs enough diffused light for healthy growth. Avoid direct sunlight, which could burn the leaves. The ideal site is the north and east side near the windows or the west side with fading weak sunlight.

Watering

Water with lukewarm water. The substrate should never dry out completely, but we pay attention to overflowing.

Humidity

The plant requires increased air humidity, so we often mist its leaves or place the flowerpot on a bowl of water and pebbles.

Propagation

We can propagate the plant by dividing the bunches, for example during transplanting, when we separate a young and mature plant from the mother plant.

Common problems

Overwatering: Too much water can cause root rot, yellowing and leaf drop. Dry air: Due to insufficient air humidity, the leaves of the plant can start to dry from the tips and turn yellow or curl. Burn: Direct light can burn the leaves of the plant, causing dark and dry spots.
