HOUSEPLANTS FOR DIMLY LIT HOUSES

Calathea

Calathea has become a favourite among interior decorators because of the beauty of its elongated, lance-shaped leaves with a purplish underside. It comes from the tropical regions of America and, although it appreciates moderate light exposure, direct sunlight should always be avoided. It should therefore be placed in a room in the house that is not too sunny. If your house is not very luminous, place this plant right next to the window. As for watering, it should ideally be watered once or twice a week in winter and every two or three days in summer. This variety needs a lot of humidity, so it should be sprayed frequently to keep it in perfect condition.
