Calathea orbifolia with palm leaf basketWhat a lovely sight! The Calathea orbifolia has large leaves with light and dark stripes. A beautiful contrast with the palm leaf basket! The Calathea 'goes to sleep' at night. The leaves will then curl up together. The Calathea even purifies the air! Put the plant in partial shade. This jungle plant requires high humidity levels, which is why its leaves should be sprayed occasionally. This prevents the leaf edges from drying out. Always keep the soil
