4508 Calathea x bicajoux Cobra Pink

Large shrub 5-10 ft Groundcover and low-growing 2ft Small shrub 2-5 ft Semi-shade Regular water Ornamental foliage

This flowering calathea doubles its ornamental value, a plant that is usually known for its decorative leaves. Most calatheas usually do not flower, they are known for their decorative leaves. However, after years of intense breeding, this hybrid from Holland has 4 to 6 flowers that bloom for five months, and it re-flowers every spring. Now it is a plant with a double ornamental value; when it is done flowering, you can still enjoy the beautiful leaves. Great as indoor plant, and for shade garden!

5893 Calathea x roseopicta Dottie - Prayer Plant

Small shrub 2-5 ft Semi-shade Keep soil moist Regular water Ornamental foliage

Calathea Dottie has vivid pink markings with an entire and wavy margin. The leaf surfaces are colored very dark black-green and its midrib beautifully marked with a distinctive bright pink that also encircles the leaf about 0.5-1" from the margin. These beautiful markings remain vivid pink even as the plant matures. Newly emerged leaves are slightly lighter in color. Leaves underside is purple. Dottie has the characteristic feature of folding up their leaves at dusk to dawn by means of the tiny geniculum, an angular knee-like joint connecting it to the petiole, resembling hands put together in prayer, hence the other common name, Prayer Plant. And, in the morning the leaves will return to normal position, that is, almost perpendicular to the petioles. The plant does occasionally produce purple and white flowers. Perfect small accent plant for shade tropical gardens or as a houseplant.
