Beautiful lush foliage in your home.
This bold and beautiful plant requires a little more love and attention than most houseplants. While it enjoys low to medium light, it does require higher humidity so areas like a bathroom or kitchen work well for these plants. Make sure to keep it out of direct sun to avoid burning the leaves. Keep the soil moist (but not soaking wet) and you’ll have a gorgeous looking plant for many years!
Calathea houseplants do well with medium light to low light. No direct sun, which will burn foliage.
Keep soil evenly moist spring through fall. Water less often in winter, allowing the potting medium to dry slightly before watering again.
Calathea houseplants love a peat moss based potting mix.Â
We suggest Fertilome Ultimate Potting Mix
 Feed every 2 weeks spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer, diluted by half. In fall and winter, feed monthly.Â
We suggest Schultz Plant Food Plus
Calathea houseplants like average warmth between 65-85°.
Calatheas are good with average to high humidity.
Calatheas houseplants are some of the few houseplants that are pet friendly.Â
Calatheas are some of the most beautiful houseplants we carry at City Floral Garden Center. Their fancy foliage is stunning to look at almost like they are a living work of art. Calatheas are perfect for low light households because they don’t need a lot of light to be beautiful. Excellent for tabletops, floor plants, or on low plant stands.
This Calathea White Fusion has lovely green and white marbling on the leaves with pale purple undersides. The leaves feel like they are hand painted meticulously by an artist.Â
The Jungle Velvet Calathea exhibits large, intricately patterned leaves with purple undersides. They take their colloquial namesake from the fuzzy, velvet like texture of their leaves.
The Calathea Vittata shows off bright green, pointed leaves with contrasting white stripes. The Vittata has an upright, clumped growth habit and is considered to be somewhat less demanding than other calathea plants.Â
Rattlesnake plant bears long, narrow mid-green leaves edged and spotted in dark green. The undersides of the leaves are a rich purple-red.
Misto Calathea is an elegant hybrid that features mid-green leaves feathered with light-green variegation in the center.Â
Peacock calathea (or makoyana) shows off dark green leaves with light green feathering, giving it something of a stained glass appearance.Â
A classic variety, Medallion foliage is like a living party! The dark green leaves are flushed and banded with silver and emerald green.
The White Star Calathea features contrasting foliage with white and green coloring and a violet underside.Â
The Beauty Star Calathea features shiny green foliage with white and light pink contrast. The undersides of the leaves have a deep purple tint.
A stunning variety, Calathea ornata or ‘Pinstripe’ features statement-making veined leaves that look almost hand-painted. The dark green leaves are marked with bright pink “pinstripes”.
Roseopicta, often referred to as the rose-painted calathea, features deep pink to purple colors at the center of its foliage and purple undersides.Â
The Calathea Dottie is a calathea variety with deep green (sometimes appearing almost black) leaves with hot pink variegation. The undersides of the leaves appear pinkish-green and darken as the plant matures.
Calathea Freddie features shiny, elongated leaves that appear almost greyish-green and have a darker green stripe. The glossy shine and more pointed leaf shape give this calathea a distinct appearance.
A calathea with larger foliage, the Orbifolia boasts large, rounded leaves. Bright green, glossy leaves with silvery banded stripes. If you’re looking for a stylish and statement-making calathea, this one is for you!
Also known as the Calathea Network, Calathea musaica features green foliage with intricate, lighter green to cream colored mosaic patterns. The Musaica is considered somewhat easier to care for than other calatheas.
Hydrangeas do well in partially shaded areas like under a large tree or on the side of a house. They like to receive sun in the morning, and the partial shade is in the heat of the afternoon. In Colorado, too much full sun will cause them to get sunburned.
Hydrangea shrubs need to have well-draining soils that is rich in organic matter. Most Colorado soils will benefit from the addition of peat moss and compost that helps retain moisture. The pH determines the colors of the blooms. Acidic soil will give you blue flowers, and alkaline soil gives you pink flowers. Â
If hydrangea shrubs are given too much high-nitrogen fertilizer, they may grow full and lush, but there will be fewer flowers. If the soil is rich, fertilizer is not needed. Otherwise, a light application in March or April may be warranted.
Make sure to water your hydrangea shrubs regularly. Those big blooms require a lot of water to stay lush and full. About one inch of water throughout the week is ideal. If they receive more sun give them at least two inches during the hotter summer days.
