Description

A Shining Star of the Prayer Plant Community

Calathea setosa, also known as the Velvet Calathea, is a member of the Marantaceae family and is native to South America. This plant has been enjoyed for centuries for its unique appearance and is considered a symbol of tropical beauty.

The Calathea setosa was first discovered and named by Carl Ludwig Willdenow, a German botanist, in 1805. Since then, it has become a popular houseplant around the world, known for its vibrant foliage and easy care requirements.

In its natural habitat, Calathea setosa can be found growing in the dense forests of Brazil, where it thrives in the warm, humid environment. The plant is often used in traditional medicine in South America, where it is believed to have healing properties.

Caring for your Grey Star Calathea

Light
