Calathea 'Stella'
Calathea ‘Stella’ is a vibrant, resilient hybrid prized for its bold variegated foliage and the classic “prayer plant” movement. It displays elongated, lance-shaped leaves mottled in white and light-green against dark-green margins, with striking purple undersides. Developed as an easier-care alternative to Calathea ‘White Fusion,’ ‘Stella’ forms a neat, upright clump growing to about 45–60 cm (18–24″) tall and wide. Its combination of dramatic visuals, nyctinastic leaf movement, and pet-safe, air-purifying traits makes it a standout in any indoor setting.
Key Features
Foliage Pattern: Dark-green, lanceolate leaves vividly variegated with white and pale green; deep purple undersides add contrast.
Size & Habit: Clump-forming perennial, typically 45–60 cm tall and wide, with an upright, bushy silhouette.
Light Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates medium to low light better than many variegated varieties; avoid direct sun to prevent scorching.
Water & Humidity: Prefers evenly moist soil—water when the top 1–2 cm dries—using non-calcareous water; high humidity (60%+) is essential to maintain leaf health.
Leaf Movement: Exhibits classic nyctinasty—leaves rise and fold at night and unfurl by day, adding dynamic interest.
Resilience: Faster-growing and more adaptable to lower light than Calathea ‘White Fusion,’ making it suitable for a range of indoor environments.
Pet & Air Friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs and known for its air-purifying qualities, ideal for pet-friendly households.
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
