rufibarba elgergrass calathea 80cm
The Rufibarba Elgergrass Calathea comes from the Amazon 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. This calathea elgergrass is very similar to Calathea Rufibarba Bluegrass which also belongs to the genus calathea rufibarba. Calathea elgergrass also has a robust and lush growth. The plant has a compact shape and has a lot of volume. The elongated 'embossed' leaves have a green top and a purple bottom.
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.
