Our Calathea Leopardina Prayer Plant comes in a 12 cm pot and is a shade tolerant Indoor but does like indirect sunlight.
- The Calathea Leopardina has long oval light green leaves, with attractive darker green stripes. Like other Calathea the Leopardina's leaves fold upright at night and then unfold in the morning.
- This plant is best kept in bright but indirect sunlight as too much direct can cause the leaves to become sunburnt. Like other Calathea this variety can cope in low light conditions.
- It's important to keep the soil of this plant lightly damp at all times. Water little but often as it doesn't like to be kept sitting in water. Mist the leaves to help replicate it's humid natural environment. During the winter months cut back on watering.
- Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.

Watering Keep the compost lightly and evenly moist, watering when the surface just begins to dry. Avoid both prolonged dryness and waterlogged roots, and let excess water drain freely after each watering. Water a little less in winter, while maintaining reasonable humidity around the foliage.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
