XL Calathea warscewiczii
ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Calathea warscewiczii is native to Costa Rica and Nicaragua and has beautiful large patterned leaves that have a stunning sheen and soft velvet feel to the touch.
You may see it in the pictures of magazines - it’s very distinctive. Imagine how it will look next to your sofa in a wonderful planter! It really does add a definite tropical flavour to a room which is always welcome particularly when it’s cold outside!
Like all Calathea plants, Calathea Warscewiczii is not poisonous or toxic to cats or dogs, making it a fantastic choice for people looking for an indoor pot plant.
What makes it even more unique is that the plant closes its leaves at night and opens them again in the morning, earning the common name prayer-plants. These plants are excellent air purifiers.
If you’d like to give this amazing house plant as a gift then we can make it even more special by including a free, handwritten card as part of your plant gift delivery.
Here at Happy Houseplants we pride ourselves on personal service and we really want to share our love of plants - so whether it’s variegated house plants or cacti, mini indoor plants or large foliage plants, we’re the best place to buy houseplants!

We post all our plants to most of the UK, with the exceptions of the Islands of Scotland, the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of White, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands due to the high cost of shipping.
Measurements: The plant heights provided encompass the plant stem and the foliage length, along with the depth of the grow pot, which includes the living root system, and not just the portion of the plant that is visible above the soil level.
