The Green Goddess Calathea is a stunning houseplant with spectacular foliage. The rounded leaves have a slight ripple and provide subtle texture. The dark green leaves are offset by light green along the midrib and bordering the inside of the margin. The light green accents almost look hand-drawn for added visual interest. This Prayer Plant cultivar can be particular about its care but will thrive when you provide what it needs.
Best Locations For Growing Green Goddess Calathea
Sunlight and humidity are the driving factors when selecting a spot for a Green Goddess Calathea. A naturally humid area like a steamy bathroom or kitchen is ideal. Calathea plants are non-toxic, making them safe for homes with kids or pets.
Green Goddess Calathea Sunlight Requirements
Medium-light to bright, indirect light is necessary for the Green Goddess Calathea. This Prayer Plant will do well in medium sunlight, but it will develop more intense variegation and grow faster when exposed to bright, indirect sunlight. Keep the delicate leaves away from the damaging rays of direct sunlight.
Green Goddess Calathea Care
Remove dead, damaged, or dry leaves as necessary. Repot the Green Goddess Calathea annually if the plant has outgrown its pot. Always use a container with drainage holes and give the plant fresh, rich, moist soil that allows water to drain. Calathea plants can proliferate under proper care, so divide the plant as needed.
Watering Green Goddess Calathea
Calatheas enjoy deep waterings, but they don’t like overly soggy conditions. Water the Green Goddess Calathea when the top inch of potting soil is dry. Allow the water to drain, and remove excess water from the saucer or cover pot.
This tropical plant loves humidity. The Green Goddess Calathea can handle average humidity, but increased humidity is preferred. Low humidity is trouble, and the foliage will develop brown edges. Be mindful that increased humidity prolongs soil dampness, so plants in a high-humidity environment may not need water as often.
Feeding Green Goddess Calathea
Feed your Green Goddess Calathea to encourage more abundant growth. Use balanced, water-soluble plant food applied every four weeks. Fertilize your Prayer Plants when they are actively growing. Growth slows in the fall and winter, so withhold fertilizer during those months.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
