Calathea White Fusion Peacock Plant
Thick white highlights on green leaves create a striking show on Calathea White Fusion. Pink to purple undersides adds an extra showy dimension to this already striking plant. This impressive houseplant likes bright indirect sunlight and moist soils.
Fantastic as a houseplant indoors. Outdoors it makes a wonderful stand-alone specimen, or it can be added to mixed seasonal annual containers. Plants rarely bloom indoors. Easy to grow, it prefers bright, indirect light, with no direct sun. Also known as Prayer Plants, they get their name for their movement of leaves, opening in the mornings and closing at night. Calthea’s flamboyant foliage has animal looks, giving them many common names including Peacock Plant, Zebra Plant, and Rattlesnake Plant.
Pet safe houseplant, non-toxic to dogs and cats.
Plant in well-draining, good potting soil. Fertilize plants when they are actively growing, usually April through Aug, following the 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 the fall and winter months. Prayer Plant 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 least 60 degrees or more.
