Calathea Network (‘Pp0005’) (PBR) | 14cm Pot

Stunning green and yellow leaves. Position: bright but indirect light Soil: good potting compost Rate of growth: average Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 45cm (+ or – 10% including the pot) Pot covers: choose a 16cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot The leaves of this recent addition to the family are mainly rich green, but they have small sections of bright yellow, which looks a little like a mosaic or stained glass window. Adding to the appeal is the slightly scalloped edges of the foliage, which gives it a textural feel. These plants are tough and resilient, so they are ideal for beginners – or people with busy lives. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from. Home care: Originating from tropical regions, they like relatively stable temperatures (ideally above 15°C) and a well-lit position that does not get direct sunlight (think steamy jungle!). They like to be kept well watered, although this can be cut back a little in winter, and they thrive in high humidity, so either grow it in a steamy room, mist it with water regularly, and/or sit the pot on a tray of dampened shingle.
