Contains:
- 1 x Calatheas Roseopicta in a 12cm (4.7") pot - mature size: 60cm x 60cm (24" x 24")
Cultural instructions:
- Position Calathea in a warm room away from cold draughts and radiators, with a constant temperature above 16C (60F)
- Average room temperatures of 18C (65F) - 24C (75F) are preferable
- Calathea require a bright but lightly shaded spot, well away from the direct glare of the sun
- Water Calathea freely between spring and autumn using tepid rainwater where possible, and allowing the pot to drain well after each watering
- In winter, reduce watering but do not allow the compost to completely dry out
- Feed regularly between March and September when active in growth
- Calathea appreciates a humid atmosphere - stand it on a tray filled with pebbles and water
