The Calathea "Compactstar", an artistic masterpiece among the plants

Details

For the colors of Calathea "Compactstar" the artist has used delicate and strong shades of green to color the leaves artistically. The underside of the leaves has a surprise in store: they are not also green, but are a delicate shade of red. This comes into its own when your muse retires to sleep at night, because it folds its leaves upwards to do so. The leaves of Calathea "Compactstar" also move during the day, as they follow the course of the light. If you want to paint the basket marante, however, you don't have to exhort it to stand still, because these movements are teeny and barely perceptible.

This basket marante is especially picturesque in a bright place without direct sunlight and unfolds its full beauty in high humidity. It enjoys its water in small but regular amounts - so the soil is always moist, but never wet.
