Calathea 'White Fusion

Calathea 'White Fusion' is a spectacular hybrid variety of Calathea, famous for its exceptionally decorative foliage. This highly prized houseplant is distinguished by its slender leaves, which feature a captivating mix of green, creamy white and sometimes shades of pale pink, creating an almost unreal visual effect. The undersides of the leaves are often purple, adding contrast and depth to the overall appearance.

Origin: Although Calatheas are native to the tropical forests of South America, 'White Fusion' is the result of horticultural breeding aimed at creating houseplants with unique, attractive foliage.

Growth: Calathea 'White Fusion' is a moderate-growing plant that prefers an environment similar to its natural tropical habitat, with high humidity and indirect light. It is perfect for adding a touch of color to interior spaces.

Flowers: Although flowering is not the most remarkable aspect of this plant and is rare indoors, Calathea 'White Fusion' can produce small, discreet flowers. However, it's its spectacular foliage that really stands out.

Light: Prefers medium to low, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn its delicate leaves and discolor the foliage.

Watering: The soil should be kept moist, but not saturated. Regular watering with room-temperature water helps prevent browning of leaf tips, a symptom of lack of humidity.

Humidity: Requires high humidity to thrive. Placing the plant on a tray of moist clay balls or using a humidifier can help maintain the necessary humidity around the plant.

Substrate: A well-draining potting mix is ideal. A substrate for tropical plants, enriched with perlite, will promote plant health and growth.

Toxicity: Calathea 'White Fusion' is considered non-toxic to humans and pets, making it an excellent choice for a home or office.
