Calathea Plant

The houseplant Calathea is a symbol of a new beginning. This meaning comes from the English saying ‘to turn over a new leaf’, which is what the plant does in the dark. This symbolism makes this an extra special gift, to someone who has just moved house, has a new job or is starting something new in another way. Water lightly to avoid leakage, keeping the soil moist but not very wet. Location with low light, keep out of direct sunlight.
