Calathea Ctenanthe - Burle Marxii

The Calathea “Burle Marx” is a compact, small growing Calathea that will complement any house-plant growers’ collection. Originating from Brazil, this plant will prefer a warm humid position within your house that is free from drafts and out of the direct line of sun. The leaves, which are most definitely the star attraction of this plant will grow in fan-like clusters and hold a dark green striped pattern that is similar to a fishbone with a light green exterior and purple underside. Water only when the surface layer of the soil is dry and mist frequently to keep the dainty leaves looking lush.
