Calathea 'Rosy' (Pot Size 12cm) Prayer Plant sold by Boma Garden Centre

Calathea roseopicta ‘Rosy’—better known as Calathea Rosy—is one of the most visually striking foliage houseplants available. Its rounded leaves display a beautiful palette of soft rose-pink centres, framed by deep green and dark plum margins, giving every leaf a painted, almost velvety appearance. This rich colouring offers a warm lift to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and offices, especially in spaces that benefit from gentle accents of colour without flowers.As a tropical understory plant, Calathea Rosy thrives in indirect or low light, making it perfect for shelves, desks, or side tables away from direct sun. It pairs elegantly with other moisture-loving indoor plants such as Ferns, Marantas, Fittonia, Peace Lilies, and other Calatheas. Together, they create a soft, textural indoor jungle. The plant typically reaches 40–60cm in height with a similar spread. While it does not flower indoors in the UK, its bold foliage more than compensates. As part of the Marantaceae family, Calathea Rosy also contributes to air purification, helping improve humidity and air quality in the home.This variety naturally folds its leaves upward at night, giving a subtle movement and presence that adds calm to any room. Occasional trimming of any tired or damaged leaves keeps the plant neat, but overall maintenance is light.
