Phytosanitary Certificate

Common Name : ETERNAL FLAME

Botanical Name : Goeppertia crocata, Calathea crocata

Family Name      : Marantaceae

The torch-like orange summer flowers give this plant its name, but it can also be grown for its colourful foliage, which makes a feature in its own right. The broad, oval-shaped, slightly wrinkled leaves are green with a metallic sheen on the upper sides and dark burgundy beneath

PLANT CARE

16–24°C (61–75°F)
Shaded Light
Moderate to High Humidity
Keep the compost moist all year round, but guard against waterlogging. Mist daily with tepid water, and place on a tray of damp pebbles

ADDITIONAL CARE

If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth

An example picture gives a trustworthy image of the plant with good care. The plant at the example picture is not the plant that will be delivered. This is an example, so variations are possible. The eventually delivered plant may differ in for example size, number of flower branches, etc
