Are they new leafs? Flowers?? I’m not as familiar with calatheas
@Idplantthat new leaves! They come out rolled up and slowly uncurl. It’s magnificent!
Oh my goodness, the pop of pink it to die for. Beautiful!!!
@Idplantthat Weird, I didn’t get this notification yesterday! Yes, they’re new leaves, they shoot up like tightly furled treasure maps and then unroll themselves, they are just so cute. Here’s my lil baby maranta today and the calatheaβ€”or is it geoppertia now? 🧐
@SunflowerSunset I love them so much! I just took this pic this morning and love it just a little bit more πŸ˜‚
@DreamMachine oh no I see the colors! (That matches the other leaves) it’s incredibly gorgeous.. I’d be mesmerized every time I see it! πŸ₯°
That is so cool!!! But mom and dad do not want a very big houseplant πŸ˜‚
@DreamMachine I love my calatheas these are older pics from last year they are quite a bit bigger now. I have three as you can see in the 2nd and 3rd pic.
@SilkyRoses ooh they are all so lovely! And look at your pinstripe, that one’s on my wishlist 😍
@DreamMachine I love how the new leaves spiral aswell, Your one is stunning too.
I got lucky finding my pink pinstripe the store I go to for plants sometimes only had one left. I also have a red veined prayer plant to seems like we have similar taste in calatheas lol.
@SilkyRoses Nice! Yes we sure do 😁 I feel like they get a bad rap for being fussy, but in my experience I feel like they just don’t like being messed with. Kinda like teenagers, lol
@SilkyRoses every stage of them opening I’m like, β€œNo THIS is my favorite, ok no, THIS is my favorite” πŸ˜‚
@DreamMachine ikr I have heard so many bad things about calatheas being fussy and what not but mine are happy even without the high humidity that everyone says they need.
@SilkyRoses oh my goodness, yes! πŸ˜‚ I don’t have a humidifier and I don’t even use special water. They all drink tap and are just fine. Although, I’m lucky to live in an area with naturally soft water. I don’t think I could do that if we had hard water.
