    Key Features:

     

    1. Foliage: Large, lance-shaped leaves with a rich dark green base. The leaves are splashed with irregular white or light green streaks, giving it a marbled appearance. The undersides are a deep burgundy, creating a dramatic contrast.

     

     

    2. Size: Typically grows to about 45-60 cm (18-24 inches) in height, making it suitable for tabletops, shelves, or floor displays.

     

     

    3. Growth Habit: Upright and bushy, with a compact structure.

     

     

     

    Care Tips:

     

    1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the leaves to scorch and lose their vibrant patterns. It can tolerate low light but may grow slower.

     

     

    2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Use filtered or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup that can harm the plant.

     

     

    3. Humidity: Requires high humidity (60-80%). Place near a humidifier, mist regularly, or use a pebble tray to maintain moisture levels.

     

     

    4. Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

     

     

    5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A combination of peat moss, perlite, and standard potting soil works well for this plant.

     

     

    6. Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

     

     

    7. Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain its appearance and promote healthy growth.

     

     

     

    Additional Notes:

     

    Prayer Plant Behavior: Like other Calathea species, it exhibits nyctinasty, folding its leaves upward at night and lowering them during the day.

     

    Pest Management: Regularly check for spider mites, mealybugs, or aphids. Clean leaves with a damp cloth to prevent pest infestations.

     

    Pet-Friendly: Non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with animals.

     

     

    Calathea Magic Star is a stunning plant that thrives with proper care and adds a touch of tropical elegance to any home or office. Its vibrant patterns and unique leaf movements make it a favorite among plant enthusiasts.
