Goeppertia crocata 'Tassmania' Plant Features

This species loves heat and humidity, but dislikes direct sunlight. Keeping it in your garden in temperate regions is not a good idea and it will require less work if kept indoors.

The plant is also known for letting their owners know when to go to bed - its leaves close up in the evening. Even without its flowers Calathea Crocata looks spectacular.

Flowering: The plant comes from Maranta family, with many kinds of Calathea, but Calathea Crocata is special due to its beautiful flowering.

The name 'Eternal Flame' comes from the yellow and orange flowers that resemble a flame. They grow on the top of the stems, a little higher than the leaves. Their sepals are rose - red and are not clearly visible among the yellow-orange bracts.

The flowers last 2-3 months.

Foliage: As mentioned before this species looks spectacular even without its yellow flowers. The leaves are metallic green on the outside with purple hues and brown undersides. Similar to other kinds of Calathea they are slightly wrinkled.

Goeppertia crocata 'Tassmania' Growing Instructions

Grow calathea in medium to low light. This beautiful tropical doesn't like much sun on its leaves, so shield it from direct light to prevent sunburn. Water calathea enough to keep it moist, but not wet or saturated. This isn't a drought-tolerant houseplant, but it is relatively forgiving if you forget to water it from time to time. Extended periods of dryness can result in brown leaf tips or edges.

Like many tropical indoor plants, calathea prefers a spot with low to medium light and abundant humidity. If the air is too dry or the plant dries out too frequently, the leaf edges may turn brown and crispy.

Calathea is not recommended for human or animal consumption.
