Calathea Orbifolia (M) Isabella

Isabella’s survival guide

Isabella’s official name is Calathea Orbifolia and if that doesn’t ring a bell, she’s the real deal! Besides the fact that she’s a stunning beautiy to look at, Isabella is also known as the princess of purifying! Her big beautiful leaves have no problem converting CO2 into Oxygen. But wait, there’s more! Isabella is a non-poisonous plant so she plays real nice with your furry friends and little kids. Another fun fact; because her leaves are pretty strong, locals in South America often use them as packaging material for their freshly caught fish. We promised Isabella we wouldn’t do that to her though, can you help us keep that promise?

What makes Isabella so special

Isabella grew up in the Amazon forests of Brazil and the Colombian Jungle. She’s a Calathea and those of you with experience caring for one already know: her beauty comes at a price! If you do so much as look at her the wrong way her leaves will turn yellow, brown and crispy! Keep her in low to medium light and provide this needy green amiga with some filtered water if you can. Much obliged!
