A compact Calathea Rusco in a 4-inch pot, featuring glossy, dark green leaves with subtle wavy edges and a deep maroon underside. An easygoing entry point into the Calathea family.
**What's Included:**
One Calathea Rusco plant in a 4-inch nursery pot.
**Specifications:**
- Pot Size: 4 inch
- Difficulty: Moderate care
- Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which fades and scorches the leaves.
**Care Tips:**
- Use a loose, well-draining, peat-based mix
- Keep the soil consistently moist — never let it fully dry out or stay soggy
- Water with filtered or distilled water if possible; sensitive to fluoride, chlorine, and hard water
- Maintain moderate to high humidity for healthy, unblemished foliage
- Keep in a warm spot away from drafts, AC vents, and cold windows
- Leaves fold up in the evening ("prayer plant" movement) — this is normal
**Important Notes:**
- Images are for reference only — natural variation in size, leaf count, colour, pattern, and shape is normal
- Leaf browning/curling usually points to low humidity or water quality, not necessarily a dying plant
- Non-toxic, but always supervise pets and children around houseplants
