Goeppertia Orbifolia | 14cm Pot

A fantastic foliage house plant. 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 cover: choose a 16cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot Impressive, orb-shaped foliage with very attractive broad, silvery striped green leaves. Native to Bolivia in South America, this unusual calathea would be the perfect foil for the architectural kentia palm. 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.
