The undersides of the leaves display a reddish-purple hue, adding to its visual appeal. Native to Brazil, this plant brings a touch of exotic charm to any indoor space.Calathea Roseopicta 'Green Lipstick' thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause leaf burn, so it's best placed near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. Ensure it receives plenty of filtered light to maintain its vibrant foliage.This plant prefers consistently moist soil. Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but also ensure it is not waterlogged. Use distilled or rainwater if possible, as this plant is sensitive to chemicals often found in tap water.Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one that contains peat moss or coconut coir, compost, and perlite. This mix helps retain moisture while providing good drainage, preventing the roots from sitting in water. Best suited for USDA hardiness zones 11-12, making it ideal for indoor environments in most climates.High humidity is crucial for the Calathea Roseopicta 'Green Lipstick'. Aim for a humidity level of 60-70%. Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water. Maintain a temperature range of 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature changes. Avoid temperatures below 60°F (15°C) to prevent damage to the plant.Pruning is not frequently needed, but you should remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking its best. Use clean, sharp scissors to make cuts at the base of the leaf stem. The striking foliage with its unique lip-shaped patterns and reddish-purple undersides makes it a standout piece in any room.
