Key Features:

  • Size: Typically grows up to 30-60 cm in height and spread, depending on the environment.
  • Light Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and cause fading.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry and avoid overwatering, as Calathea is sensitive to root rot.
  • Temperature: Prefers warm, humid conditions between 18°C and 26°C. Avoid exposure to drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
  • Additional Features: Known for its leaf movement (nyctinasty), as the leaves tend to rise and lower in response to light levels throughout the day.

Care Tips:

  • Plant in well-draining, peat-based potting soil and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
  • Maintain high humidity by misting the plant regularly or placing it near a humidifier. Calathea plants thrive in humid environments and may struggle in dry indoor air.
  • Use filtered or distilled water, as Calathea ‘Eclipse’ is sensitive to chemicals in tap water, which can cause leaf browning.
  • Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength to encourage healthy growth.
  • Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them vibrant.

Calathea ‘Eclipse’ is an excellent choice for plant lovers seeking a low-light, decorative houseplant that adds character to any room. Its bold, patterned leaves and graceful movement make it a dynamic, rewarding addition to an indoor plant collection.
