Color Full® Orbifolia Calathea Houseplant

The Color Full® Orbifolia Calathea, known for its strikingly large, broad leaves, is a highlight of the Calathea family. Its leaves are characterized by their pale green stripes against a darker green background, resembling the beautiful pattern of watermelon skin. This Calathea variety can grow to be quite large, making it an impressive statement piece for interior spaces.

For the Orbifolia, troubleshooting typically involves addressing issues related to humidity, watering, and light. Brown edges or tips on the leaves usually indicate low humidity or infrequent watering. Yellowing leaves can be a sign of overwatering or insufficient drainage. If the vibrant striping of the leaves fades, this could mean the plant is not receiving enough light. Direct sunlight can lead to faded or burnt leaves, while too much water can cause root rot. It's also vital to keep an eye out for pests such as spider mites, which can be discouraged with increased humidity and regular leaf cleaning.
