In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

The Calathea musaica ‘Variegated' is a rare and refined variety of the well-known musaica. Whereas the standard form is already praised for its intriguing mosaic pattern, this variëgated selection adds to it. In addition to the lattice pattern, the leaves display irregular areas or stripes of lighter shades ranging from yellow-green to almost white. The result is a unique and playful pattern that makes this plant a true showpiece for the enthusiast of unusual foliage plants.

Origin

The basic species Calathea musaica originates from Brazil, where it grows on the shady forest floor of tropical rain forests. There the species has adapted to filtered light, constant heat and high humidity. The 'Variegated' form is an extremely rare selection that is only sporadically offered in cultivation, making it very popular with collectors.

Characteristics

The leaf displays a fine, grid-like pattern resembling a digital mosaic - one of the most refined leaf drawings among the Calathea's. At the 'Variegated's form, parts of this pattern are interrupted by lighter areas or stripes, making each leaf unique. It grows compactly and forms a bushy shrub with medium-sized leaves that exude a natural elegance.

Care

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too bright sunlight can burn the leaves, but too little light reduces variety.

Temperature

This variety feels at home at a constant temperature of 18-26°C and does not tolerate cold below 15°C.

Substrate

An airy, organic substrate that retains moisture but drains well is ideal. A mix of airy potting soil, tree bark and some sphagnum works well.

Humidity

High humidity (60-80%) is essential to keep the leaves beautiful. Brown edges are prevented by regular spraying or using a humidifier.

Nutrition

During spring and summer, fertilize bi-weekly with a mild houseplant fertilizer. In winter, a monthly donation is sufficient.

Watering

Preferably use demineralized water or rainwater. Keep the substrate constantly slightly moist, without leaving the roots wet for long periods of time.

Leaf care

Dust the leaves regularly so that the pattern and variety remain visible. Avoid leaf shine products that may affect the natural texture.

Flowering

Although the plant can form small flowers, it is appreciated almost exclusively for its foliage. Variegation makes this selection a living eye-catcher that is attractive year-round.
