Calathea crocata Family: Marantaceae Eternal flame Origin: Brazil ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Puckered ribbed leaves with maroon undersides and orange/yellow flame-like flowers. Partially shaded light, it will lose some of its markings if denied light, though does not like full sun. Temperature of around 68F. Spray regularly for humidity (not on the flower heads) using cooled boiled water, and water sparingly. Calathea wants high humidity and high temperatures as well. Indoors, mist several times a week to provide added humidity. They get sick or sick looking whenever the weather is even a little cold or too dry. Remember, this is a jungle plant. This plant tells you when to go to bed at night: its leaves close up. |
