Calathea Freddie is one of the most softly beautiful plants in the Calathea family. Its long, lance-shaped leaves are a fresh, light green with a distinctive pattern of darker green zones arranged along the midrib in an irregular, painterly way. The overall effect is light and airy rather than bold, making it one of the more understated and elegant Calathea varieties. Like all Calatheas it folds its leaves gently upward each evening and opens them again in the morning.Good for beginners? It is more forgiving than many Calatheas. With consistent moisture and some humidity it is very manageable and a good entry point into the Calathea family.Safe for cats and dogs? Yes. Calathea is non-toxic to pets, making it safe for homes with cats and dogs.Light needs: Bright to medium indirect light suits it well. It tolerates lower light better than many Calathea varieties. Avoid direct sun which will fade the delicate leaf pattern.Care at a glance: Keep soil evenly moist during the growing season. Use filtered water where possible to prevent brown tips. Benefits from humidity. Feed monthly in spring and summer.Ships fresh from one of our two greenhouse locations in a nursery pot. Covered by our 30-Day Plant Guarantee.
