Calathea Roseopicta Medallion

Botanical Name: Calathea roseopicta 'Medallion'
Common Name(s): Medallion Calathea, Rose-Painted Calathea

The Calathea Roseopicta Medallion is a stunning houseplant known for its striking, large, oval-shaped leaves that boast intricate patterns and vibrant coloration. Native to the tropical regions of South America, this Calathea variety features deep green leaves with a unique, rose-colored center and a silvery, marbled pattern along the edges. The plant’s bold, decorative foliage makes it a captivating addition to any indoor space, bringing a touch of exotic elegance and beauty. The striking color contrast and intricate leaf patterns have made it a favorite among plant enthusiasts looking to add drama and vibrancy to their home décor.

To thrive, the Medallion Calathea requires bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate low light conditions, its colors may become less vibrant and the plant’s growth may slow down. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves and cause brown spots or fading. This plant prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and enjoys high humidity, which is essential for maintaining the lushness of its foliage. If humidity levels are too low, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a humidity tray to help it thrive.

The Calathea Medallion does not like to dry out completely, so water it regularly to keep the soil slightly moist. Be sure to use well-draining soil, as it is susceptible to root rot if left in standing water. It’s best to allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but never let the plant sit in soggy soil for prolonged periods. Additionally, Calatheas are sensitive to chlorine and fluoride, so using filtered or distilled water is recommended if your tap water contains these chemicals.

Note: While the Calathea Medallion is non-toxic to humans and pets, it’s always a good idea to keep it out of reach of curious pets, as chewing on the plant could irritate their digestive system

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Sensitive to some chemicals: This plant is generally sensitive to chemicals like chlorine and fluoride found in tap water. Distilled or rain water is recommended.
  2. "Prayer Plant" Behavior: The medallion exhibits nyctinasty, meaning its leaves move throughout the day. They raise their leaves at night, resembling praying hands, and lower them during the day.
  3. Fertilize once a month: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season.
  4. Repot every 1-2 years: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that’s only slightly larger than the current
  5. Avoid cold drafts: Keep your Calathea away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Where do you ship?

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?
