    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Pale creamy white leaves with green veins with pinkish blush if provided with brighter light. Upright grower with lancolated leaves. This plant is part of the "Prayer Plant" family; this means that the leaves will fold upward during the evening hours through morning. This Calathea likes higher humidity than many other Calatheas

    By: The Other Side Nursery

    Calathea ‘Whitestar’ features beautiful, dark green leaves display wide white stripes radiating from the mid rib, sometimes blushed with pink. This low maintenance plant is very adaptive. Calatheas grow best in an evenly moist, well-drained soil. Feed with a slow-release fertilizer at planting. It makes a beautiful accent for borders and containers, or is excellent as a houseplant. Protect from frost!
