Calathea Roseopicta Corona

Calathea Roseopicta Corona (Rose Painted Calathea, Rose Painted Prayer Plant) is famous for its striking foliage. The leaves are broad, oval-shaped, and slightly elongated with a smooth texture. The primary color of the leaves is a deep, rich green that forms the outer margin. The central portion of the leaf is a lighter, creamy white to pale green. This gradient from dark green to pale colors towards the center gives the leaves a distinctive corona-like appearance, which is how the variety gets its name. The undersides of the leaves are typically a vibrant burgundy or deep green, which adds to the plant’s ornamental value and creates a stunning contrast. Calathea Roseopicta Corona is a low-growing, clump-forming perennial plant. It typically reaches a height of 12 to 24 inches and spreads out to a similar width. The leaves grow from short stems that arise directly from the plant’s base, creating a bushy, compact appearance. The plant’s habit of growing in a dense, mounding form makes it an excellent choice for indoor cultivation. Like many Calathea species, Calathea Roseopicta Corona is known for its ability to purify indoor air by removing toxins and increasing humidity levels, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
