Placement & care
About this plant
Calathea lutea grows as a clump with large, broad leaves and silvery undersides. Use it where there is room for the leaves to spread, such as a courtyard border or a generous sheltered planter. A large potted specimen can also add height to an event grouping.
Light Choose partial shade or filtered light with protection from strong wind.
Water Keep the root zone evenly moist in well-drained soil. Check container plants regularly in warm weather.

It needs space and suitable light. Send photos of the proposed position so the team can assess it before recommending an indoor placement.
