    Calathea White Star

    Botanical Name: Calathea White Star
    Common Name(s): White Star Calathea, White Star Prayer Plant

    The Calathea White Star is an exquisite tropical plant admired for its striking, variegated foliage and unique patterns. The large, oval-shaped leaves of this variety are a beautiful mix of deep green with bold white or cream-colored stripes running vertically, creating a star-like effect. The striking white veins contrast dramatically with the dark green of the leaf surface, making this plant a showstopper in any space. The undersides of the leaves are a rich purple or maroon, adding another layer of contrast that enhances its beauty. Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, the Calathea White Star thrives in humid, shaded environments, making it a perfect choice for indoor plant lovers who want to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their home.

    This Calathea variety thrives in bright, indirect light but should be kept out of direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. It performs best in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C), and like most Calatheas, it flourishes in high humidity. To maintain the ideal environment, consider placing the plant in a room with natural humidity, such as a bathroom or kitchen, or using a humidifier to boost moisture levels in the air. If the air becomes too dry, you may notice the edges of the leaves curling or turning brown, which signals a need for increased humidity. Regular misting or a humidity tray can help keep moisture levels up.

    The Calathea White Star prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. However, it is important to avoid overwatering, as this plant is sensitive to root rot. It’s best to allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Like many Calatheas, it is sensitive to the chemicals often found in tap water, such as chlorine and fluoride, so using distilled or room-temperature rainwater is recommended to keep the plant healthy.

    A unique feature of the Calathea White Star is its ability to move in response to the light—a phenomenon known as nyctinasty. During the night, the plant’s leaves fold upward, and during the day, they return to their usual position, creating a dynamic, living presence in your home.

    Note: The White Star is non-toxic to both pets and humans, making it a great choice for households with children or animals

      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.

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