Common Name: Beauty Star Calathea
Origin: South America, primarily Brazil
Color: Deep green leaves with pale green striping and burgundy undersides

Beauty Star has a clean, vertical form and patterned leaves that look almost brushed on. The markings are more subtle than some calatheas, but the contrast still stands out, especially against the dark leaf backs. Like many in the family, it responds to its environment, shifting slightly with the day. It prefers steady conditions and tends to grow best when left undisturbed.
