Calathea Roseopicta Flamestar

Calathea Roseopicta Flamestar – A Rare Collector's Masterpiece

The Calathea Roseopicta Flamestar is one of the most spectacular cultivars in the Calathea family — and one of the hardest to find. Its large, rounded leaves are painted with a dramatic flame-like pattern of deep burgundy and rich green, edged in a contrasting border that makes each leaf look like a work of art. Watch it come alive at dusk as its leaves gently fold upward in its signature nyctinastic movement.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright to medium indirect light; never direct sun — it will scorch the leaves
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged; use filtered or rainwater if possible
• Humidity: High humidity is essential — aim for 60%+ with a humidifier or pebble tray
• Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C; sensitive to cold draughts and air conditioning
• Soil: Rich, well-draining potting mix with perlite
