#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #CalatheaCrew I’m so totally excited that the Calathea Dottie my hubby bought me several months ago is blooming with flowers. Or maybe one flower specifically. I’m not sure how many yet but I’ve read that it’s rare for these plants to flower indoors in a natural setting. I guess it’s happy! . #hubbypickedagoodone #igotitright.
Oh my goodness! So exciting! 😍
That’s wonderful! It’s such a surprising and awesome color!
@Shells_Garden Michelle, Wow!! 🤯 That IS rare!! @MockingJay Veronika check this out 😱
@Shells_Garden wow that is awesome🤩 One flower stem bear several flowers, but they might be hard to spot as they hide in the folds of what seems to be 1 green flower😆

I never managed to keep my Dotties alive 😔 But my Makoyanas have flowered alot this summer😊 It is a similar kind of flower, but still a bit different😄
@Shells_Garden Wow! I hope mine does that too!🤞😅
@MockingJay that’s really pretty. I’ve never managed to keep calathea’s alive for more than a year. The Dottie is fairly new so I’m excited to see it so healthy. The other couple that have survived for more than 2 years is my Makoyana. It was dying after 4 years so I moved it outside on the patio to the plant graveyard but it’s come back. Still no flowers but looos super healthy now. I also have a rattlesnake Calathea that’s 2 years old but she’s seen better days!
@luvmygreenhouse I’ve got my fingers crossed for you! 🤞☺️
@Shells_Garden Thanks, Michelle!😊
That's so cool that you were able to get it to flower!
