Calathea rufibarba

Calathea Rufibarba — velvet elegance of the tropics
Calathea Rufibarba is a living masterpiece where elegance meets exotic charm. Its long, wavy leaves with a velvety underside and deep green top create a sense of movement even in complete stillness. The subtle burgundy hues on the underside add depth and refinement, making this plant a stylish highlight in any interior.
Calathea fills the space with a feeling of coziness, balance, and natural harmony. It looks especially beautiful in bright rooms with soft lighting — placed on shelves, plant stands, or next to other shade-loving plants.
The listed price is for a Calathea in a planter with a 13 cm diameter.

We’ve also prepared detailed care instructions so your Calathea can thrive and delight you for a long time.

LIGHT
Calathea prefers soft, diffused light or partial shade. Direct sunlight may burn the leaves and reduce their ornamental value. Ideal placement: north, northeast, or shaded east-facing windows.

WATERING
The soil should always be slightly moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during warm seasons. In winter — moderately. Use warm, soft, lime-free water.

MISTING
Calathea loves high humidity. Regular misting, a humidifier, or a pebble tray will help the plant retain its lush appearance and rich color.

FERTILIZING
From spring to autumn, fertilize once a month with a decorative foliage plant fertilizer. No feeding is necessary in winter.

FEATURES
Calathea Rufibarba is sensitive to dry air, drafts, and hard water. Its velvety leaves are particularly sensitive to care conditions, but with the right environment, it will retain its beauty and vitality for a long time. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate refined exotic greenery and peaceful natural aesthetics at home.
