    Calathea Rufibarba ‘Furry Feather'

    Botanical Name: Calathea rufibarba 'Furry Feather'
    Common Name(s): Furry Feather Calathea, Velvet Calathea

    The Calathea Rufibarba 'Furry Feather' is a stunning ornamental plant that captivates with its uniquely textured foliage. It's leaves are a rich, deep green on the upper surface, but the real showstopper is the underside, which is covered in soft, velvety purple or reddish hues, giving the leaves a fuzzy, almost "feather-like" texture. This captivating appearance gives the plant its common name, "Furry Feather". As with other Calathea varieties, the foliage exhibits a beautiful, intricate pattern and has a dynamic nature, as the leaves fold and move in response to changes in light and humidity, a phenomenon known as "nyctinasty."

    Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, this Calathea thrives in warm, humid environments with consistent moisture. It does best in bright, indirect light, as direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves. Ideal temperatures range from 65-80°F (18-27°C), and it should be kept away from cold drafts. If the air is too dry, the plant's leaves may curl, brown, or develop crispy edges.

    This Calathea variety enjoys consistently moist, well-draining soil, and should be watered when the top of the soil feels slightly dry. It's best to water with room-temperature, non-chlorinated water, as Calathea species are sensitive to chemicals like chlorine and fluoride found in tap water.

    This plant is a slow-growing, relatively low-maintenance plant, but it does require attention to its environmental needs, particularly humidity and watering. It can be a beautiful addition to any indoor space, with its rich foliage adding texture and visual interest.

    Note: The Calathea Rufibarba Furry Feather is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a great option for homes with animals or small children.

      FAQs

      Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.
