Calathea roseopicta Princess Jessie®
Calathea roseopicta Princess Jessie® is a decorative, tropical foliage plant with a compact growth habit. Princess Jessie® is a stunning specimen with a fresh appearance due to its broad, oval, glossy leaves and a beautiful leaf pattern in dark green and pink. The undersides of the leaves are pink/purple. As a typical Calathea, C. Princess Jessie® also earns the nickname 'living plant' because it closes or raises its leaves at night and unfurls or lowers them again in the morning. Calathea roseopicta is originally an evergreen perennial from tropical regions of Brazil, where it grows in the shaded, moist underlayers of rainforests. Other internationally used names for Calathea roseopicta include: Rose Painted Calathea. Evanthia has Calathea Princess Jessie® starting material available year-round, as young plants from tissue culture. Ask our team for the Calathea cultivation manual for commercial production.
