1-3 Plants per 5x7cm Tissue Culture Cup

Calathea roseopicta 'Medallion' is truly a work of art, with its large, rounded leaves resembling ornamental medallions. The top of each leaf displays a deep green background overlaid with bold, silvery-green markings in the shape of ovals and streaks, forming a mesmerizing pattern. The leaf edges are a rich, dark green, and the undersides reveal a vivid purple, creating a striking contrast with the patterned top.

Each tissue culture cup (5 x 7 cm) contains 1-3 baby plants, showing the beginnings of their stunning medallion-like markings. As they grow, these plants will flourish into a dense, vibrant display, ideal for adding tropical beauty to indoor spaces. Calathea 'Medallion' thrives in high humidity and indirect light, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to bring a bold yet elegant touch to their plant collection.

Perfect for terrariums, vivariums, or humid indoor environments, Calathea's is a natural air purifier, improving indoor air quality while offering a beautiful, dynamic aesthetic. Its unique “prayer” movement, where the leaves fold up in the evening and unfurl with morning light, adds a fascinating touch to its appeal.

Planting and Hardening Tips:

1. Planting: Gently remove plants from the tissue culture cup, rinsing off any remaining gel with clean water. Plant in a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix—ideally peat-based with added perlite.
2. Hardening: Keep plants in a covered environment or humidity dome initially, gradually introducing them to open-air conditions over 1-2 weeks. Begin by lifting the cover slightly each day, allowing the plants to adapt to lower humidity levels.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but will tolerate lower light conditions.
• Water: Maintain consistently moist soil without overwatering.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist regularly or keep near a humidifier for best results.
• Temperature: Optimal range between 18–24°C; avoid cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.

Begin your journey and watch as these vibrant, young plants grow into a stunning addition to your indoor oasis, creating a calming, natural atmosphere with their gentle movements and lush foliage.
