  •   Calathea Green Goddess is a tropical houseplant from the Marantaceae family, native to the rainforests of Central and South America. In its natural habitat, it grows beneath a dense forest canopy in warm, humid, low-light conditions that translate perfectly to indoor living.

      The plant features bold, upright foliage with large, glossy leaves in deep emerald green, often marked with contrasting patterns. Its growth habit creates real presence as a statement leaf plant, and the texture and color depth distinguish it among tropical houseplants commonly grown indoors.

      Rather than showy blooms, it is valued for its living foliage that actively purifies indoor air by filtering formaldehyde and other toxins. Like other members of the Marantaceae family, it naturally humidifies the surrounding air while cleaning the space around it.

      Position it in a basket, on the floor, or inside a terrarium where humidity stays high. Kitchens and bathrooms work especially well since ambient moisture supports the plant without constant misting. It is pet-safe, so households with cats and dogs can display it without concern. The foliage provides tropical style with air-cleaning function.

  •   Calathea Green Goddess grows well in bright indirect light and scorches easily in direct south-facing sun.

      Water it every 1-2 weeks, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly.

      Calathea 'Green Goddess' does best in a well-draining, moisture-retentive mix of peat or coco coir, perlite, and potting soil.

      It prefers temperatures between 65-85°F and should never be exposed to cold drafts below 60°F.

      Calathea 'Green Goddess' grows at a moderate pace and benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, where winter temperatures rarely dip below 20-25°F. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, California, Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Nevada. Coastal areas of Oregon and Washington that fall within zone 9 also support it outside during frost-free months.
  • Q: Is Calathea Green Goddess pet friendly?
    A: It is non-toxic to cats and dogs and safe for pet-owning households.

    Q: What causes yellow leaves on this plant?
    A: Yellow leaves on Calathea Green Goddess typically result from overwatering, low humidity, or exposure to cold drafts from air conditioning or heating vents; check your watering schedule and move it away from direct air flows.

    Q: Can Calathea 'Green Goddess' adapt to office lighting conditions?
    A: It can grow under quality LED office lights as long as the light remains consistent and humidity around the plant stays adequately high.

    Q: How is this plant propagated?
    A: Calathea 'Green Goddess' is propagated by division at repotting time in spring, separating healthy root clumps and potting them individually in fresh, moisture-retentive soil.

    Q: Does Calathea 'Green Goddess' need a window location?
    A: It adapts well to interior spaces away from windows as long as it receives bright indirect light from lamps or consistent filtered daylight indoors.

    Q: What window direction works best for bright indirect light?
    A: East-facing or north-facing windows provide bright indirect light without the intense afternoon sun that scorches leaves; south-facing exposure should be filtered through sheer curtains on Calathea 'Green Goddess'.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
