Calathea Beauty Star

Calathea Beauty Star is an evergreen, rhizomatous perennial houseplant famous for its striking, colorful leaves. It belongs to the Marantaceae family, commonly known as the Prayer Plant family. The Calathea genus is native to the warm, humid tropical rainforests of South America.

The true appeal of the 'Beauty Star' is its foliage. The long, tapered leaves are a deep, glossy green, boldly striped with neon green and faint pink or silvery-white pinstripes that radiate from the midrib. The stunning contrast is completed by the leaves' undersides, which glow a rich, deep purple/reddish hue.

Calathea is generally considered non-toxic (pet-safe) for cats, dogs, and humans, making it a great choice for homes with pets.
Avoid direct sun, which will scorch the leaves and cause the vibrant patterns to fade. Tolerates medium light, but color will be less intense.

Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.

Use a light mix, often including perlite, peat, or bark.

The plant prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C - 27°C). It is sensitive to cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C) can cause damage.
