Calathea Dottie
About This Botanical
The Calathea Dottie (Goeppertia roseopicta 'Dottie'), offered in 4" and 6" nursery pots, is a striking prayer plant with deep burgundy-black leaves outlined in vibrant fuchsia pink. At night, its foliage folds upward in classic prayer-plant fashion.
How to Care for Calathea Dottie: Provide medium to bright indirect light and elevated ambient humidity. Water with filtered or distilled water when the top 1–2 inches of soil start to dry, keeping the root zone consistently slightly moist. Repot in a spongy, well-aerated potting mix containing peat moss and perlite.
Identification: Unlike Calathea Medallion, Dottie features midnight-purple foliage illuminated by a dramatic neon-pink border ring.
Pet Safety: Non-toxic and safe for households with cats and dogs.
