4" Calathea Dottie

The Calathea Dottie is a beautiful tropical foliage plant recognized for its nearly black, rounded leaves accented by vivid pink markings and delicate pink outlines. Its dramatic contrast gives it an almost painted appearance, making it a standout among decorative Calatheas. Like other members of the prayer plant family, its leaves naturally move throughout the day in response to changing light.

Care Level: Moderate to Difficult

Light: Medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade its dark foliage and damage the leaves.

Water: Keep the soil consistently lightly moist. Allow the top layer to dry slightly before watering, and use filtered or distilled water when possible.

Humidity: Prefers high humidity, ideally 60% or above.

Growth Habit: Compact, clumping.

Collector Note: Pink markings and leaf coloration may vary slightly between leaves. Leaf movement throughout the day is natural, and occasional brown edges can develop when humidity or water quality is inconsistent.
