Origin
The Calathea lietzei 'Greenstar' is originally a tropical plant, hailing from the rainforests of Brazil. In this natural setting, the plant grows under the shade of larger trees. Here, the plant has developed into a robust survivor, capable of adapting to varying levels of light and moisture.

Characteristics
The Calathea lietzei 'Greenstar' is known for its large, wide leaves that are characterised by a vibrant green colour with striking light veins. These leaves are perched high on slender, stiff stems. The plant can grow up to a height of 30 to 40 cm and a width of around 60 cm. Moreover, the plant bears small flowers, though it is more known for its leaves than its bloom.

Care
The Calathea lietzei 'Greenstar' has a moderate need for water and must be watered regularly to mimic the humidity of its natural habitat. Situate the plant in indirect sunlight, as too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves. The plant thrives best at an average room temperature between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. For optimal growth, it is also important to feed the plant regularly with a balanced plant food.
