This Calathea is delivered in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ9 cm nursery pot\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it an easy choice for shelves, side tables, desks, and smaller spaces where you still want real greenery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant in the image shows elongated, slightly arching leaves with layered green striping and a gentle sheen. Calathea grows from a central clump, creating a tidy, full look without needing frequent pruning. It is often chosen as a \u003cstrong\u003elow-sun houseplant\u003c\/strong\u003e because it keeps its colour best in bright, filtered light rather than direct sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many Calatheas, this plant prefers stable conditions: even moisture, warmer indoor temperatures, and a bit of humidity. With the right placement and routine, it stays crisp and decorative throughout the year.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light.

Its compact pot size suits a \u003cstrong\u003ebedroom nightstand\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003ehallway console with borrowed light\u003c\/strong\u003e, or a \u003cstrong\u003ework-from-home desk\u003c\/strong\u003e where you want greenery without needing strong sun. In open-plan living spaces, it also works well grouped with other shade-tolerant plants to create a calm, layered look.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalathea leaves can react to irregular watering and dry air. For best results, use lukewarm water and keep the routine steady rather than alternating between very dry and very wet soil. If your home has hard water, letting water stand overnight before use can help reduce mineral build-up on the soil and leaf edges. Wipe the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and support healthy photosynthesis. Rotate the pot occasionally so the plant grows evenly toward the light.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plant \/ houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies or variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calathea (Goeppertia)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate size at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in a Ø9 cm nursery pot; compact tabletop size\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivered in a grower’s nursery pot (decorative pot not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kolibri Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52985295602007,"sku":"10443","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/ac203b63-a113-4d83-a5d8-802945512a9d_1200x1200_fill.png?v=1773213457","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/kolibri-greens-green-plant-calathea-green-houseplant-fresh-from-the-grower-o9cm","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
