Calathea 'Purple Rose'

The Calathea 'Purple Rose' is a breathtaking addition to your indoor jungle, offering a vivid splash of magenta and deep burgundy that looks almost painted onto its wide, dramatic leaves. You will love having this in your home because it provides that bold, tropical pop of color without needing a single flower to do it. Growing to a tidy one to two feet tall and wide, it is the perfect size to brighten up a desk, nightstand, or accent table. To keep those rich purple tones looking their absolute best, place your plant in bright, indirect light, such as a few feet back from an east-facing window, ensuring the harsh afternoon sun never directly scorches the leaves. Best of all, if you have dogs or cats exploring your home, you can relax knowing this vibrant beauty is completely pet-safe and non-toxic.

To keep your 'Purple Rose' flourishing, think about its natural home on the rainforest floor, where moisture is steady and consistent. You want to keep the soil evenly moist, watering thoroughly just when the top inch of potting mix feels dry to the touch. Because Calatheas are highly sensitive to the chlorine and fluoride found in our tap water, I recommend using distilled or filtered water to prevent those delicate leaf edges from turning brown and crispy. Indoor air can be a bit dry for these tropicals, so boost the ambient humidity by placing the pot on a shallow tray filled with pebbles and water. By providing this steady, attentive care, you will be treated to its beautiful daily routine of folding its colorful leaves upward at night, just like hands in prayer.
