  •  Calathea Roseopicta cv. Dottie, or Rose Painted Prayer Plant Calathea Dottie, a plant species of the Marantaceae family, is a unique "gift plant". It has oval-shaped dark green (almost black) leaves with hot pink patterns and little white, yellow, or purple blooms of flowers.

     This is an evergreen perennial with air-purifying and toxin-removing effects. Calathea Dottie has a moderate growth rate and can reach approximately 12” tall.

     Its small, nice to see flowers usually bloom in the summer.

  •  This houseplant with big leaves does not tolerate direct sunlight. Give it a spot with medium light, ample air flow and protect it from the sun.

     This plant is not very drought tolerant and needs regular watering, around once per week or when the top 2' of soil dries out. Water less in the winter.

     Calathea Roseopicta Dottie needs light well draining soil. A good soil mix is 30 % potting mix, 30% succulent soil or coir and 30% perlite or pumas.

     This plant thrives in temperatures of 60°F-55°F and generally grows well at normal room temperature.

     This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

    Calathea Dottie is considered non-toxic and safe for pets.

    When you purchase online, your plants have to go through lots of stress while traveling so they may need a few days to adjust to their new environment and thrive. If your plant does not perk back up after a few days of care, let us know and we will send replacements free of charge. Remember that we always try our best to accommodate you.
  • It’s advised that you should repot the plant as soon as you get it. After repotting, your new houseplant will most likely struggle with transplant shock. It may appear droopy, faded, or have a slower growth rate than usual during this time. This is completely normal, and it’s also normal for transplant shock to hit especially hard after repotting a brand-new houseplant. To make sure your plant has plenty of time to adjust to its new surroundings, wait a day after potting and water your plant. Make sure any excess water drains completely from the pot afterward. Monitor your soil’s moisture levels daily to start creating a watering routine. To help perk up your new houseplant, we recommend adding a little water-soluble fertilizer, compost, or sugar water to your soil to boost its nutrients and help it grow.
