  • Calathea Setosa is also known as Never Never Plant, Compact star Plant, Zebra Plant and Prayer Plant. Setosa has strikingly beautiful and unique foliage with dark green, variegated stripes on long and thin light green leaves.

    As a prayer plant, Setosa belongs to the Marantaceae family. It folds its leaves up during the night, which resembles praying hands. This plant is also great at purifying the indoor air and removing air pollutants.

    In winter or early spring, Setosa produces small white to purple flowers. These flowers grow between the leaves.



  • Calathea Setosa grows best with lots of bright, indirect or filtered light but it also also tolerates medium light conditions. Harsh direct sunlight will scorch its leaves and deep shade will make this plant lose its variegated color.

    This plant needs regular watering to keep its soil slightly moist. Check the soil twice a week and water when the first 2 inches of the top soil is dry.

    This houseplant needs well-drained, nutrient-rich soils that are able to retain some moisture. Choose a peat-rich potting mixture.

    This plant thrives in temperatures of 65°F-75°F and grow well in normal room conditions. It does not tolerate temperatures below 50°F .

    This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer. You can also feat this plant with a slow release fertilizer once or twice per year.

    Setosa is considered non-toxic and safe for pets.

  • Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
