Calathea Fasciata Borrusica is a close cousin to Calathea Orbifolia, which is also a gem amongst foliage plants. This hard to find Calathea has large rounded leaves with predominate rib pattern that is in the form of stripes, interchanging from dark to lighter green. Elegant and understated, this Calathea is prized for its round leaves which grow quite wide as the plant matures. The new leaves emerge beautifully from the center of the plant, which grows densely and can get rather large for Calathea - up to 2.5' tall and wide, with leaves stretching over 8".

Sun: Indirect

They do not need to see the sun directly. But filtered sunlight through glass is fine. Keep them away from intense direct sun.

Light: Low

They thrives in medium to bright light, but can tolerate low light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window.

Water: Every 1 week

Allow the soil to dry out half way before watering. Typically when you see the surface of the soil is dry, it's safe to give them a water.

Humidity: High

They like a high humidity environment, give them a mist regularly. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. It doesn't mean they'll die if they don't get enough humidity, they may get some crunch edges or yellow rims if they don't have enough humidity but will survive.

Care Tips

Calathea Fasciata Borrusica is sensitive to environmental stress and prone to occasional brown edges/spotting on leaves. Keep guarded against direct sun and mist regularly or keep on a pebble tray to increase humidity.
