Care Tips

☀️ Light: Medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage and fade its beautiful patterns.
💧 Water: Keep the soil lightly and consistently moist, allowing the top 1 inch to dry slightly between waterings. Calatheas can be sensitive to minerals in tap water, so filtered or rainwater is ideal when possible.
🌡️ Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity and warm, stable temperatures. Keep away from cold drafts, heating vents, and excessively dry air.
🌱 Growth: Moderate grower with a compact, upright, and clumping habit. New leaves emerge tightly rolled before unfurling to reveal their distinctive patterns.
🐾 Pet Safety: ✅ Safe for cats & dogs.

With its intricate foliage, beautiful green-on-green patterning, and fascinating leaf movement, Calathea ‘Flame Star’ brings lush tropical texture and personality to any indoor plant collection.
