Calathea lancifolia
Calathea lancifolia is a plant native to Brazil, a country with a tropical climate and in fact it loves the hot climate. Its leaves are lanceolate and pointed, with sinuous margins; the central vein of the leaf is light green, the upper surface is variegated with irregular dark green spots, while the lower one has a beautiful purple colour.
The ideal temperature is therefore between 18 and 25°C although particular attention must be paid to never expose it to direct sunlight and to spray it, increasing the humidity of the area in which it is located.
