Shining bright amongst the Calathea family, the White Star is distinguishable by its striking patterning. Similar to the Sanderiana, this Calathea has luscious green, broad glossy leaves with white, fish-bone-like stripes washed in pinky hues and is underpinned with a deep velvety purple backdrop.

Calethea majestica is one of the larger Calathea varieties available and makes a fantastic statement houseplant.

Calathea majestica White Star Care & Info Guide

Horty Hints

White striped wonder! If you notice these wonderful pinky stripes completely fading to white, the plant is receiving too much sunlight. Move to a more shaded location.

What’s got you down? Leaf droop happens naturally during the day, they then sit more upright at night, however if leaf droop is combined with dry air and soil, the plant needs more water and humidity. Brown tips are common.

Dinner time! Fertilising your plant every three months during the growing season with a liquid fertiliser will keep your plant colourful and vibrant. It will also encourage faster growth!

Light

Calathea need plenty of diffused, bright light. Direct light will burn the leaves or cause them to fade. Can tolerate some degree of shade, but variegation may fade. Experiment in your home to find the perfect spot for your plant.

Watering

Calathea must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think ‘little and often’ as a watering policy.

Temperature

Prefers warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-23°C, but can cope with as low as 15°C. Avoid draughts and ensure the plant has reasonable ventilation.

Humidity

High humidity levels are a must. Mist frequently to improve humidity conditions and pop it near the shower from time-to-time to give it an extra boost.
