Calathea Majestica Whitestar - 4" Pot

Delicate stripes with a dramatic side

Calathea majestica 'White Star' brings intricate pattern to your indoor collection. Its elongated leaves are traced with fine pale stripes against green, often with a soft pink blush, while darker margins frame the foliage. A glimpse of the burgundy undersides adds another layer of color as the leaves shift position.

Start this small plant on a table near a window with filtered light and enjoy watching new leaves unfurl. With consistent moisture, warmth, and extra humidity, it can develop into a fuller, upright clump. Like other prayer-plant relatives, its foliage moves through the day and may lift in the evening.

• Available Size: 4-inch nursery pot.
• Light: Medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch or fade the patterned leaves.
• Water: Keep the potting mix lightly and evenly moist, not soggy. Water when the top half-inch to inch begins to dry, and allow excess water to drain. Avoid letting the root ball dry out completely.
• Water Quality: Distilled, filtered, 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 drying vents and provide gentle airflow.
• 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 rather than a trailing vine. Actual growth and eventual size depend on light, humidity, and care.
• Leaf Color: Striping and pink tones vary with leaf maturity and growing conditions.
• Pet Note: Considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, though plants are best kept away from curious chewers.

A rewarding choice for plant lovers who enjoy finely patterned foliage and a consistent, hands-on care routine.
