The Calathea roseopicta 'Silvia' brings a quiet elegance to any indoor space. Its large, rounded leaves open in soft pinkish-white tones with deep green edges — a palette that feels both fresh and sophisticated. Like all prayer plants, the Silvia moves with the light, leaves rising at dusk and unfurling again each morning in a gentle daily ritual.

Care Guide
Light: Bright indirect light is ideal; tolerates moderate light but avoid direct sun, which will bleach the leaf markings
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water when the top inch feels dry. Use distilled or filtered water when possible — calatheas are sensitive to fluoride and mineral salts.
Humidity: Prefers 50%+ humidity; mist leaves occasionally, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier
Temperature: 65°F–85°F (18–29°C); keep away from cold drafts and vents
Soil: Fast-draining, moisture-retentive 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
Available Sizes
4" Pot — A well-established starter plant, perfect for shelves and tabletops
6" Pot — A fuller, more mature specimen ready to make an impression
Each plant is grown with care and ships directly to your door. Leaf color and patterning may vary slightly — every Silvia is beautifully its own.
Your plants deserve better than a box from a warehouse.

Alocasia Variegated Frydek Brandie Perry
The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
