In this video, we have another diva plant to talk about-Calathea. With its beautiful large leaves and rich colors, Calathea is your ultimate statement plant. These plants love filtered water (yes, it's a Brita fan while I’m stuck with tap water).
I will be sharing tips about their preferred watering, humidity, and light exposure. I'll also go over some common problems these plants have and how to fix them.
And thanks to our sponsor, Proven Winners, we'll also explore the diverse range of Calathea varieties!

Your personality and ability to talk to the camera with such ease just really impressed me as I watched this. You're funny, but not too cheesy, which so many people struggle to balance. The Brita water thing was so relatable....obnoxious but worth it.

2:39 Regarding the prayer plant etymology: To add to that, some prayer plants (the ones with the pink line in the middle) literally have the pattern of two leaves clasped together, like someone praying. The light-green spots in the middle are the finger nails. I didn't see that in the beginning myself, but after some months it finally clicked with me, haha. The Orbifolia reminds me of "Watermelon Peperomia", just a lot bigger and without the spot in the middle
