Origin
The Calathea 'Stella' belongs to the Marantaceae family. The original species of the Calathea genus are native to the tropical rainforests of South America. These plants thrive especially in the shaded undergrowth of the forest. They are adapted to a warm and humid climate.

Characteristics
Calathea 'Stella' is characterised by its strikingly patterned leaves. The leaves are elongated with clearly contrasting veins. The undersides of the leaves often display a purple hue. The plant has a compact growth habit and generally remains quite low. The leaf patterns and colour variations are typical for this variety.

Care
Calathea 'Stella' requires a high level of humidity. The plant grows best at a consistently warm temperature. Indirect light is ideal to prevent leaf discolouration. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should not become too wet. A unique soil composition and good drainage are important for healthy growth.
