INDOOR PLANT : Part of the 'Prayer Plant' Calathea family the Rufibarba has fluffy feather shaped long green leaves with a maroon underside. At maturity can reach top to 1 metre in height.
LIGHT : Bright natural light. Calatheas enjoy humidity so a brightly lit bathroom or kitchen, or a cluster or calatheas together is a good idea.
WATER : Allow the top of the soil to dry out slightly before re-watering, calatheas in general do like to be a little damp at all times. A full wetting of all the soil every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (less in winter) is best vs to ensure all the roots can access moisture.
WE RECOMMENDED PLANTING IN : 25cm Self Watering Pots for the 17cm Rufibarba and 17cm Self Watering Pots for the smaller 13cm plant.
