Calathea Dottie 17cm Pot Plant

Calathea Dottie 17cm 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 a warm, humid environment. Keep out of draughts or sudden temperature changes. 
  • Light: Moderate indirect light or low light. Keep away from direct sunlight.
  • Water: Water when top inch or two of soil is dry. Be careful not to overwater, Aglaonema prefers slightly moist soil but can suffer root rot if left in standing water.
  • Soil: Use a peat-based soil. Allow to drain. Yellowing leaves or soft stalks are a sign of overwatering. 
  • 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.
