Calathea Dottie 14cm Pot Plant

Calathea Dottie 14cm Pot Plant
larger imageMove mouse over the image to magnify
Calathea 'Dottie' is a striking foliage cultivar recognised for its deep burgundy to almost black, glossy leaves highlighted by vivid pink veins and a finely traced pink margin. The dramatic contrast is enhanced by rich purple undersides, creating visual interest from every angle. Like other members of the prayer plant family, its leaves respond to changing light throughout the day, gently raising and lowering in a natural movement known as nyctinasty. As new foliage unfurls from the centre of the plant, the vibrant pink markings gradually intensify as each leaf matures.
Cold sensitive variety
 
  • Habitat: Prefers to be kept in warmer temperatures. Avoid sudden temperature drops, and keep away from draughts.
  • Light: Bright, indirect light. Shield from direct sun.
  • Water: Water little and often with filtered, room temperature water. 
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix to avoid root rot.
  • Fertiliser: Will benefit from the application of a balanced plant fertiliser during peak growth periods.


Please note: Variegated plants vary between and within crops. While we attempt to maintain growing conditions, no guarantees can be made around the volume of variegation per plant. The picture of this plant is indicative only, as we see with all plant species, every plant is unique.
