  •   Calathea 'Musaica' is a stunning tropical houseplant native to the rainforests of Brazil, where it thrives under the filtered canopy light of the jungle floor. A member of the Marantaceae family, this network plant has earned serious collector attention as a beginner friendly plant that rewards a little attention with breathtaking foliage year-round.

      What sets Calathea 'Musaica' apart is its extraordinary leaf patterning — a fine, intricate mosaic of light and dark green lines that covers every leaf like a hand-drawn grid, giving rise to its popular nickname "network plant." The leaves are broad, glossy, and upright-growing, with that signature calathea network texture that looks almost architectural up close. No two leaves are identical, making each plant a living original.

      Calathea 'Musaica' is primarily grown for its foliage rather than its blooms, and honestly the leaves are so spectacular they need no backup. Worth noting: this plant is a natural air purifying plant, actively filtering formaldehyde and other indoor toxins while also releasing moisture into the air to naturally humidify your space — a rare combination of beauty and function in one pot.

      Calathea 'Musaica' is a genuinely pet friendly houseplant, safe for cats and dogs, which makes it a worry-free choice for animal-loving homes. It loves a spot near kitchen humidity, thrives in high humidity environments, and can even move outdoors for summer as long as it stays sheltered from direct rain. Sensitive to being moved and to air from AC or heating vents, it prefers a stable, cozy corner where it can settle in and grow on its own terms.

  •   Calathea 'Musaica' thrives in bright indirect light and scorches quickly in south-facing windows with harsh direct sun.

      Water Calathea 'Musaica' every 7-10 days in spring and summer, reducing to every 14 days in winter when growth slows.

      Calathea 'Musaica' prefers a well-draining, moisture-retentive mix of peat or coco coir, perlite, and a little compost.

      Calathea 'Musaica' is happiest between 65-85°F (18-29°C) and should never be exposed to temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

      Calathea 'Musaica' is a slow to moderate grower; feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the active growing season.

      Calathea 'Musaica' is rated for USDA FAQs/ Common Issues Zones 10-12, where temperatures rarely dip below 30-35°F (around 0°C), making it a true tropical that prefers frost-free climates year-round. Gardeners growing Calathea 'Musaica' outdoors will find the best conditions across Hawaii, southern Florida, and the southernmost reaches of California and Texas. Warmer pockets of Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina can also support it seasonally, though growers in all other states will get the best results keeping this tropical houseplant indoors.

    🌿 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.
