rufibarba bluegrass calathea 80cm
The Rufibarba Bluegrass Calathea has its origin in the Amazones in South America, where it grows deep in the jungle. Take a good look at the patterns on the leaves, these take on unique shapes. The Bluegrass belongs to the genus calathea rufibarba, like her sister, the Calathea Rufibarba Elgergrass. The Calathea Bluegrass is known for its stocky lush growth. The plant is compact and well filled with elongated 'waffled' leaves and a fresh green colour.
But the calathea has another special characteristic: it follows the rhythm of nature day and night. In the morning light the beautiful leaves of this special plant spread open to catch the light. And in the evening these red-green leaves will prepare themselves again for the night.
