Calathea 'Dottie' - Funky Foliage Fiesta: Unique Decorative Houseplant with Color-Changing Leaves

Meet the Funky Foliage Fiesta—a.k.a the Calathea 'Dottie'—where every leaf is the life of the party! Known for its vibrant, patterned foliage that changes hues under different lighting, this plant is like having your own natural mood lighting. Originating from the tropical Americas, it brings a touch of the rainforest into your living room without the humidity (or the bugs!). Whether you call it the Peacock Plant or the Zebra Plant, it’s all about flaunting those fabulous leaves.

Benefits:

• Color-Changing Leaves: Adds dynamic beauty to any room.
• Air-Purifying: Helps improve indoor air quality.
• Pet-Friendly: Safe for homes with curious pets.
• Low Maintenance: Easy to care for, even for plant novices.
• Decorative Leaves: Eye-catching patterns make it a natural focal point.

Care Instructions:

Funky Foliage Fiesta thrives in medium to bright indirect light—it's not a fan of direct sunlight (too much of a spotlight for its taste). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and ensure it enjoys some humidity. A monthly feeding with a balanced houseplant fertilizer will keep it in top form. Mist it occasionally to replicate its tropical origins if you’re feeling particularly generous.

Décor Tips:

Place your Calathea 'Dottie' in a vibrant, colored pot that highlights its striking foliage. It’s perfect for adding a splash of color and intrigue to your dull corners or empty shelves. Combine it with other colorful foliage plants to create your very own indoor jungle or let it be the star of the show solo.
