Calathea Orbifolia

Calathea Orbifolia is a striking plant with large, oval-shaped light green leaves featuring deep purple undersides. Its vibrant foliage adds a touch of the exotic to any interior space. A great choice for low light areas, Calathea Orbifolia is easy to care for and requires minimal maintenance.

Widely loved for their bold, brightly patterned foliage, calathea are found most often on the forest floor in tropical locales. This means they’re able to tolerate partially shady areas in your home and are pretty forgiving. Most calathea plants’ leaves will fold up during the dark hours, which reveals the colorful undersides, making them a gorgeous addition to your indoor garden no matter the hour. The Orbifolia features a streaky foliage with contrasting dark and light green coloring. If your calathea leaves begin to brown, that typically means it’s being underwatered or needs a more humid environment.

Calathea orbifolia is a species of a tropical plant that is commonly grown indoors. The reason why calatheas are common houseplants is due to their enormous, showy, decorative leaves.  These plants have large, silvery-green leaves with pronounced dark-colored veins.
