Calathea Orbifolia
Calathea Orbifolia
Big leaf energy - literally. I'm the Calathea Orbifolia, and my name means 'round-leaved' in Latin. Give me time and my silver-striped leaves grow to dinner-plate size, each one looking like it was airbrushed by a very patient artist.
I hail from Brazil's Atlantic Forest, so keep me in bright, indirect light with lightly moist soil and decent humidity. I'm a calathea, which means I have standards - meet them and I'm spectacular.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Small - 90mm nursery pot, approx 10-20cm tall
I arrive in my original grower's nursery pot - a baby now, a centrepiece later.
Pets: 100% pet-safe.
A Moisture Meter keeps my moisture just right, and a Micro Pot in White flatters my silver stripes while I'm small.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Feeding your indoor plants
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
We take great care in growing, packaging, and shipping your new plants so they’re ready to thrive in your home. This includes keeping them safe while they travel from our wholesale nursery to your doorstep.
