Calathea 'Red Mojo' 130 mm

Calathea 'Red Mojo' 130 mm

Calatheas are stunning indoor plants that are generally very hardy and do well in low light making them well suited for indoor use in pots or terrariums. Most Calathea will also do exceptionally well in pots in most places indoors. They are very slow growing and will not require much maintenance. They can grow 30 to 60cm tall.

Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums; potting mix must be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep on the drier side in winter. Avoid heaters and draughty positions. Keep in some direct sunlight or provide artificial light. Fertiliser should be only used if you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertiliser will keep plants shorter and more compact.

Temperatures above 20 deg C will speed up growth, between 15 and 20 deg C growth will be extremely slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact.

This Calathea is hardy but will not survive outdoors in cold climates.
