Calathea 'Thai Beauty'

Common name/s: Calathea Thai Beauty, Variegated Calathea 

Calathea louisae 'Thai Beauty' (syn Goeppertia)

Calathea louisae 'Thai Beauty' is a beautiful, tropical plant, with a bushy, compact growth habit. Thai Beauty stands out with a remarkable palette of greens, from lime and cream to fresh and dark green variegated tops and purple undersides. As a typical Calathea, Thai Beauty also deserves the nickname 'prayer plant' because it closes or lifts its leaves at night and uncurls or lowers them again in the morning. Calathea originates as an evergreen perennial in tropical regions of South America, where it grows in the shady, damp understory of rainforests. Calathea louisae is also known as Goeppertia Thai Beauty.
