Description
The Calathea ‘Dottie’ is a type of prayer plant that sends all of its leaves vertical at night and relaxes to a horizontal position during the day. These like high humidity or the leaves will brown easily.My favorite thing about this plant is the bright pink against the truly dark leaves! Water when the soil begins to dry, keeping them slightly damp at all times. They prefer distilled or filtered water. This gorgeous tropical prefers bright, but indirect light. Direct sunlight will burn its leaves. Calatheas need humidity to grow their best. SHIPPING IN COLD WEATHER: Please check your local weather forecast before buying. We recommend you add a heat pack to your order if are ordering live plants and cuttings and your area is experiencing temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. THESE PLANTS ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO TEMPERATURES UNDER 40° Our shop is NOT responsible for any cold damage the plant may experience during shipping. Although heat packs do not guarantee a live arrival in freezing temperatures, it definitely helps and they are available in the shop to add to your purchase. PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR CLIMATE!

Your plant may look little different from the advertised; however, be assured, we handpicked our plants to meet your expectations. Thanks for shopping with us. Cutting Only : Plant Cutting propagation can be done in water or soil, but once it begins, the plant has difficult switching to the other growing medium. If you place the cutting in water, the plant should remain in water once it grows larger. The same goes for a cutting propagated in the soil. It is normal for your cutting to shed a few leaves over time, but if you are seeing increased leaf loss, there might be an underlying problem. If your cutting plant has distorted leaf growth, this may be due to nutrient and/or light deficiencies, insect infestations, or too little water. Mealybugs and scale often take up residence on the plant, and can be removed with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball. If the cutting plant leaf tips are turning brown, this is a sign of low humidity. To solve this problem, you can lightly spray your plant with water or place it in a room with a humidifier. Bare Root Only : Soil: Lightweight, well-aerated, fast-draining growing medium Container: Use a small sized pot that keeps the roots tightly packed; Drainage holes are a must Light: Although this plant will survive in low light conditions, bright indirect sunlight is best Temperature: Daytime 70 F (21 C) and above, nighttime 60-65 F (16-18 C) Humidity: Higher humidity than average household levels (40-60 percent) Watering: Water when the soil is almost dry during growth phase, infrequently during winter Fertilizing: Feed monthly with diluted water-soluble fertilizer only in spring and summer Potted plant Only : DO NOT WATER YOUR PLANT for at least 2-3 days. DO NOT RE-POT for at least 6-8 weeks. Your plant Needs to settle and acclimate. Some leaves might drop or turn yellow.

Rebecca Cornwell –
I was nervous about buying plants this way but was so pleased with the product. The plants were great size and very healthy. I was worried how they would ship across the country, but they were packaged perfectly and looked like I picked them up at the store and brought them home.
Incredibly happy! Thank you for great plants and service!
Karen –
Great plant, but didn’t do well in the mailbox. I am trying to save it. I immediately repotted and watered. Two of the three leaves are really sad! It looks like one may survive!
Cari Wheat –
The Alocasia Cuprea is a beautiful addition to my collection! I can’t believe how fast it arrived! It’s a really healthy plant with a new leaf beginning to unfurl. Very happy with the purchase!

I am a very experienced plant owner. I collect all sorts of succulents. I was so excited about this plant and when it came it looked great. It is my belief, however, that it was not properly rooted when sold. I believe they were put in the dirt and shipped. If this was the case I would have treated it differently. After a few weeks they started dying off. I reached out to the shop and was told that I did not complain within the 3 days of receiving it. I tried to resolve the issue with them before I put in my review. They did not care. Succulents can live a long time without water. If this was not properly rooted it would have taken a few weeks to see the deterioration that I did. I know that when trying to get succulents to root in soil, you water more often. I thought this was an established plant and treated it as so.
