Calathea Majestica White Star
With its extra special striped foliage and beautiful burgundy undersides, Calathea Majestica ‘White Star’ may be one of the most beautiful of all houseplants available. Many white pink and green narrow bands look like they were hand painted on top of each leaf. The moody maroon undersides, which appear as the leaves stand slightly upright, contrast spectacularly with the energetic top.
Non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.
Plant in well-draining, good potting soil. Fertilize plants when they are actively growing, usually April through Aug, following fertilizer manufacturer’s directions. Water consistently, keeping plants evenly moist. Let plants dry out a bit in between waterings. Plants will require less water during fall and winter months. Prayer Plants likes high humidity. To add humidity, place plants on a bed of wet pebbles or mist occasionally. Plants prefer warm temperatures and should not be moved outdoors until night temperatures are at lease 60 degrees or more.
