What we know is Calatheas in general need high humidity, so misting on their leaves regularly is recommended to prevent browning of the leaf margins. Also, never use fertilizers on the foliage, apply directly on soil instead. Hope this helps. Hi Malar!

It'll definitely be a wonderful addition to your list of houseplants. Appreciate your visit and thanks. James - you're right, I'm sure gonna love it! Like you, I've been admiring it for quite some while since I first saw it at a garden nursery last February but it cost a whooping sum of RM45 for a pot of almost 2' tall matured plants. Of course, I'd rather get young plants and they cost so much less. I don't intend to divide them as yet since I've learnt that they prefer to be pot-bound. Moreover, I'm seeing more new shoots emerging and think best to leave them happily undisturbed. Thanks for visiting, James..I do appreciate your support. Jean – lovely to meet you here.

I had once managed to rescue this plant when found it in uprooted and thrown out. But it didn't survive as it was left too long on the roadside and the the plant didn't recuperate. They seemed to have balls attached to the roots, I guess you would notice this when dividing them. Im sure you would truly enjoy this plant. One of the beautiful plants which I always admire.

I'm tempted to see if I can find one to grow as a houseplant. Thanks for introducing me to it. -Jean What a gorgeous plant! I’m tempted to see if I can find one to grow as a houseplant.
