Calathea Roseopicta ‘Dottie’

Calathea Roseopicta Dottie grows naturally in the dense tropical rainforest of South America. It is a fascinating plant with very dark black-green leaves, almost black with a vivid pink streak running along the foliage perimeter. The leaves close in the evening and give a rustling sound. In the morning, they open again. Place Calathea Dottie in partial shade. If it is too warm, the leaves will curl. Though it loves damp soil, overwatering will lead to root rot.
