Appearance & character

  • Broad leaves with a unique pattern of dark green and light green – each plant has its own markings.
  • The leaves have a beautiful, natural shine and immediately give a luxurious look to your interior.
  • Typical “living” Calathea: the leaves can move slightly between day and night.

Location & light

  • Place the Calathea Compactstar in a light spot with indirect sunlight .
  • Avoid strong midday sun, as this can discolour or dry out the leaves.
  • This plant likes higher humidity, making a bathroom or kitchen with daylight ideal.

Water & care

  • Keep the potting soil evenly slightly moist , but avoid stagnant water in the pot.
  • Usually watering once a week is sufficient, depending on temperature and humidity.
  • Preferably use lukewarm, low-lime water and give smaller amounts rather than large showers.
  • By spraying occasionally you increase the humidity and keep the leaves looking nicer.

For extra strong roots and healthy leaves, you can use products from our plant care collection, such as gentle food and good potting soil.
