Calathea Rotundifolia: A Unique and Playful Addition to Your Collection

Calathea Rotundifolia stands out for its round, almost circular leaves, making it one of the more playful varieties in the Calathea family. With its lush green foliage and unique leaf shape, it’s a great addition to any tropical plant collection.

Distinct Features of Calathea Rotundifolia:

• Rounded, glossy green leaves that give it a soft, cushion-like appearance.
• The plant has a compact and bushy growth habit, making it ideal for smaller spaces.
• The undersides of the leaves have a rich purple hue, which adds a striking contrast to the bright green foliage.

Care Instructions for Calathea Rotundifolia:

• Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and cause fading of the color.
• Keep the soil moist but well-drained. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
• Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C), and high humidity levels will help the plant thrive.

How to Propagate Calathea Rotundifolia:

• Calathea Rotundifolia can be propagated through rhizome division. Carefully separate the rhizomes to create smaller plants with established roots.
• Stem cuttings may also be successful, though rhizome division is more reliable.

Pest and Disease Prevention:

• Regularly check for pests such as aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to control these infestations.
• Ensure the plant’s soil is not overly wet to avoid the risk of root rot, which Calatheas are susceptible to.
