Plant at a Glance
Botanical Name: Calathea Oppenheimiana
Common Name: Calathea Oppenheimiana
Native to Brazil, Calathea Oppenheimiana is known for its dramatic, painterly foliage - deep green with bold pinkish-purple undersides. Like other Calatheas, it closes its leaves at night. Fun fact: it’s part of the prayer plant family, famed for their daily leaf movements.

Light Guide

Calatheas thrive in medium to bright, indirect light. In UAE homes, they do well near a window that’s filtered by a sheer curtain or placed in a softly lit room. Avoid direct sun - it can cause leaf edges to fade or curl.
Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist, but never soggy. Calatheas prefer consistent watering, and can be sensitive to hard tap water. If you’re using a self-watering pot, just top up the reservoir - it helps maintain the steady moisture these plants enjoy, especially in air-conditioned rooms.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant thrives in indoor temperatures between 20-28°C and loves humidity. While it adapts reasonably well to air-conditioned spaces, it’ll do even better with regular misting or in a bathroom with natural light. Avoid placing it near vents or in dry areas of your home.
Ongoing Care
Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them clean and vibrant. Remove any brown or crispy edges with clean scissors, cutting along the shape of the leaf. If leaf movement slows down or leaves start curling, it’s usually a sign of underwatering or dry air.
