Also known as velvet Calathea, is a species of tropical plant native to Brazil. It has striking dark green leaves with purple undersides and velvety hairs on its stems. It thrives in humid, indirect light conditions and is commonly grown as an indoor plant.
Very happy with this plant and the service we received from staff.
After I ordered Munekazu Ejiri I was told that it and one more Fragmipedilum are sold out. I asked to cancel all my order so I can get the plants directly from Ecuador when the weather is not hot. Then suddenly both of those were magically found. I received broken orchids that lost turgor and with no roots. The velamen just went of all the roots without me using any tools. The first picture shows the comparison of this one with Phragmipedilum Apollo I've got from Ecuador in April. I presented it because it contradicts the management statement about the poor conditions of those two plants that "temperature changes, transit time, and the shipping process itself can cause some degree of stress to the plants".
I ,received a very nice plant, after 2 months roots starts to grow , means she adapted to the Belgian climate. Now waithing for the first flowers.
