Calathea Crocata 'Eternal Flame'
£19.95
Tax included.
The Calathea Crocata is distinguished by its striking, bright orange floral bracts that rise prominently above dense, corrugated foliage. The dark green, pleated leaves feature deep purple undersides, providing strong visual interest and structural texture even when the plant is not actively blooming. As a true tropical understory plant, it requires consistent moisture and elevated humidity to maintain its delicate foliage without browning.
