Calathea Freddy - 4" Pot

Soft green leaves with a painted pattern

Calathea 'Freddy' brings delicate texture and graceful movement to your indoor collection. Its slender, pointed leaves pair a soft green background with darker, feather-like stripes, creating a beautifully patterned display without bold splashes of color.

Set it on a table near a bright window with filtered light, and enjoy watching fresh leaves unfurl into a fuller clump. Like other prayer-plant relatives, its leaves shift position through the day and may lift in the evening. A steady moisture routine and a little extra humidity help this leafy companion look its best.

• Available Size: 4-inch nursery pot.
• Light: Medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch or fade the foliage.
• Water: Keep the potting mix lightly and evenly moist, not soggy. Water when the top half-inch to inch begins to dry, and let excess water drain. Avoid letting the root ball dry out completely.
• Water Quality: Filtered, distilled, or clean rainwater can help if your tap water contributes to brown leaf edges.
• Soil: Use a moisture-retentive yet airy, well-draining potting mix in a container with drainage holes.
• Humidity: Appreciates higher humidity. A humidifier can help in dry rooms; keep away from heating and air-conditioning vents.
• Temperature: Prefers consistently warm indoor conditions. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, following the label directions.
• Growth Habit: An upright, spreading clump that becomes fuller over time rather than producing trailing vines. Actual size and growth depend on care and indoor conditions.
• Pet Note: Considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, though plants are best kept away from curious chewers.

A lovely choice for plant lovers who enjoy intricate foliage and a hands-on, consistent care routine.
