1. Basic Identification
Common Name: Calathea
Botanical Name: Goeppertia picturata
Former Name: Calathea picturata
Plant Type: Foliage houseplant (Marantaceae)
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0009
Alternative Names:
كلاثيا
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Zingiberales
Family: Marantaceae
Genus: Goeppertia (formerly Calathea)
Species: G. picturata
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to the tropical rainforests of northern and western Brazil in South America. Widely cultivated as an ornamental houseplant across tropical and temperate regions.
4. Visual Characteristics
Large, oval leaves with dark green upper surfaces featuring silvery marble-like patterns. Leaf undersides are deep purple. Leaves unfold from the center in a rosette form, creating a bushy, clumping habit.
5. Size & Dimensions
Reaches 60–75 cm (24–30") in height and a similar spread indoors. Individual leaves grow up to 20–30 cm (8–12") long.
6. Light Requirements
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Protect from direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch. Can tolerate lower light but leaf patterns may become less pronounced.
7. Watering Needs
Keep soil evenly moist without waterlogging. Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry. Use filtered or distilled water to avoid salts and chlorine.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix amended with perlite or orchid bark for aeration. Soil pH slightly acidic, ideally between 5.5 and 6.5. Repot every 1–2 years in spring.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Maintain temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid temperatures below 16°C (60°F). Requires high humidity (60% or higher); mist regularly or use a humidifier.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) at half strength every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize in winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Moderate care: ensure consistent humidity, regular leaf cleaning, and monitoring for pests. Sensitive to water quality and environmental fluctuations.
12. Growth & Propagation
Growth rate is slow to moderate. Propagate by division during repotting; separate healthy rhizome sections with roots and replant immediately.
13. Common Problems
Browning leaf tips and edges indicate low humidity or fluoride damage. Yellowing leaves signal overwatering or poor drainage. Prone to spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids.
14. Benefits & Uses
Ornamental houseplant valued for its striking foliage. Helps improve indoor air quality by filtering pollutants. Ideal for decorative use in homes, offices, and reception areas.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Non-toxic to pets (cats and dogs) and humans. Safe for households with children and animals.
