Add a vibrant splash of tropical elegance to your home with the Calathea crocata, aptly named the Eternal Flame Plant. This stunning plant is celebrated for its rich green leaves with velvety purple undersides that create a striking contrast. True to its name, it produces bright, flame-like orange flowers that rise above the foliage, bringing warmth and charm to any room.
| Position | Keep in a bright well-lit area or provide additional light. Avoid heaters and draughty positions. |
| Temperature | Temperatures above 20c will speed up growth, between 10 and 20c growth will be slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact. This Calathea is hardy but will not survive outdoors in cold climates. |
| Water | Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums, potting mix should be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep on the dry side in winter. |
| Fertiliser | Weak dose regularly in warmer months. Only fertilise if you would like the plant to grow. Less fertiliser will keep plants shorter and more compact. |
| Repotting | Only when plant is well advanced in pot or mid-spring. |
