Calathea 'Green Goddess'

Green Goddess Calathea 🌿 has long elegant leaves in rich shades of green, giving it a softer, more refined look than the bolder striped or pink-toned calatheas. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the foliage stays lush and it can add an easy tropical feel to shelves, desks, and plant stands without harsh sun. This plant is generally manageable, but it prefers steady moisture and appreciates a little extra humidity more than tougher beginner plants. Pro tip: if the leaf edges start crisping, check for dry air, dry soil, or a spot too close to a vent 💧.
