The Calathea is a tropical houseplant and is also called a living plant. The Calathea owes this nickname to a unique characteristic: its leaves fold slightly at night and open again in the morning. You can spray the plant regularly with a spray bottle. It is best to water your plant regularly because the soil should always be slightly moist. In winter, you can water the Calathea a little less. The best location for this plant is in semi-shade. Place the Calathea in a bright spot, but not in direct contact with the sun.
