What is calathea roseopicta?

Calathea roseopicta, also known as the rose-painted calathea, is a tropical plant native to South America. It is a popular houseplant known for its attractive dark green leaves with pink stripes. The leaves have a distinctive pattern that resembles rose-pink brushstrokes, which is where the plant gets its name.

Calathea roseopicta prefers bright, indirect light and high humidity. It should be watered regularly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. It is sensitive to fluoride and other chemicals commonly found in tap water, so it is best to use distilled or filtered water when watering.

This plant is non-toxic to pets and is relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for beginners or those looking to add a touch of tropical beauty to their indoor space. It can grow up to 12-18 inches tall and wide, so it is ideal for tabletops or shelves.
