A native of tropical Brazil & classified under Marantaceae. Magnificently coloured foliage & striking orange flowers. It likes light but not bright sunshine. The flowers last for 6-8 weeks. Calatheas purify the surrounding air! Our homes naturally relase a significant amount of harmful gases (see below under comments) but this plant manages to collect them all in its leaves & give us oxygen in return! The microclimate in your home will only improve when you use these plants. These air purifying plants are great in homes, schools & offices. Be nice to yourself & get the purified, humidified air created by this lovely plant. Height supplied: 35-40 cm in a 14 cm diameter nursery pot.
