The Calathea
The Calathea is a good lasting tropical houseplant in many different varieties. The plant is known for its beautiful leaf drawings, so a real eye-catcher. The special thing about these plants are the leaves that you see moving when it gets dark. This is because the leaf has joints, which are used to close the leaves when it gets dark. In the morning when it gets light again, the leaves open themselves again.
Origin
The Calathea originally comes from the dense rainforests of South America. The Amazon consists of a lot of shade due to its tall trees. This is an ideal place for the Calathea, they grow on the ground of the rainforest. The shade of these trees protects the plants from burning from the bright sun. Hence the name of our Shadowplant nursery.
