• It lives and dances!: The daily up-and-down movement of the leaves is a fascinating spectacle. It shows you that your plant is actively alive and responding to its environment.
• Worry-free for pet lovers: Perhaps the nicest bonus: Calatheas are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs and other pets. So you can safely turn your home into a jungle.

How to give your Korbmarante a happy life

A little diva with a heart of gold – that's one way to describe the Calathea. It loves attention, but with our tips it will thrive with you.

• Location: It loves bright light but hates direct sun. A spot near an east- or north-facing window is ideal. Too much sun will fade its beautiful colors.
• Water: This is its most important concern! It likes evenly moist soil, but not waterlogged roots. Use low-mineral, room-temperature water (e.g. filtered water or rainwater). Its roots will thank you!
• The jungle secret: As a tropical plant it loves high humidity. Mist its leaves regularly, place it near other plants, or set a bowl of water nearby. Brown leaf edges are often a sign of air that is too dry.
