Peacock Plant "Calathea 'Dottie'"
Meet the Calathea 'Dottie,' the drama queen of your indoor jungle. With its striking dark green leaves adorned with hot pink variegation, this plant is here to steal the spotlight. It's the plant equivalent of a statement necklace – bold, beautiful, and guaranteed to turn heads.
Effort Level: Moderate. The 'Dottie' isn't a high-maintenance diva, but she does appreciate a bit of attention. Keep her soil moist but not soggy, and she’ll reward you with lush foliage.
Pet-Friendly: Absolutely! The 'Dottie' is non-toxic to cats and dogs, so your furry friends can coexist peacefully with your botanical beauty.
Light Needs: This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Think of it as your sun-averse friend who loves the glow but avoids the burn. Too much direct sunlight, and she'll get scorched, so keep her away from those harsh rays.
Bonus Tips:
- Loves humidity: A little extra mist in the air will keep those leaves perky.
- Rotate regularly: Give her a quarter-turn every week to keep her growing evenly.
- Dust those leaves: A quick wipe with a damp cloth keeps her looking her best and helps her breathe.
