Calathea 'Dottie' - 4" Pot

Bold, Dark, and Dramatically Beautiful

The Calathea 'Dottie' is one of the most visually striking plants you can bring indoors. Its deep, near-black leaves are traced with vivid pink-rose markings and a rich burgundy underside — a color combination that feels both exotic and refined. Like all calatheas, the Dottie is a living plant in the truest sense: its leaves rise and fold with the rhythm of the day, a behavior known as nyctinasty.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright to medium indirect light; avoid direct sun, which will fade the leaf markings. Leaves will shift color under different lighting conditions — this is completely normal.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged; water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use filtered or room-temperature water when possible — calatheas are sensitive to fluoride and salts.
• Humidity: Prefers 50%+ humidity; mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier
• Temperature: 65°F–85°F (18–29°C); keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents
• Soil: Well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix; a peat or coco coir blend works well
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer; skip in fall and winter
• Repotting: Every 1–2 years in spring when rootbound
