This plant is delivered in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ9 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot and is approximately \u003cstrong\u003e9 cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e at the time of shipping, making it well suited to smaller surfaces such as shelves, desks, and window-side tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves are oval and lightly glossy, with layered green markings that read almost hand-painted. As new growth appears from the centre, the plant keeps a tidy, low profile rather than growing tall quickly. Calathea is also known for gentle leaf movement between day and night, a natural response to light that adds subtle life without demanding attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an indoor plant, Calathea makoyana is chosen for rooms where you want greenery but prefer a softer, more controlled expression than large-leaf tropicals. It is a good option for plant groupings, especially when paired with neutral ceramics and natural materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light.

If you keep it on a windowsill, choose an east- or north-facing window, or use a sheer curtain to diffuse stronger light.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse lukewarm water and consider filtered or low-limescale water if your tap water is hard—Calathea leaves can show brown edges when minerals build up. A well-draining potting mix helps prevent soggy roots; if you repot, choose a breathable mix and a pot with drainage holes. Wipe leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and keep the patterns clear. If leaf tips dry, increase humidity slightly and check that the plant is not standing near a radiator.\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:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calathea makoyana\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø9 cm nursery pot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate height at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kolibri Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52987770798423,"sku":"33373","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/58f1a712-9e69-4398-94e5-f18c10d29d54_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1773245237","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/kolibri-greens-green-plant-calathea-makoyana-green-houseplant-fresh-from-the-grower-o9cm","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
