Calathea 'Dottie'

Sizes Grown: 4 - 6

Calathea roseopicta ‘Dottie’

  • Botanical Name: Goeppertia roseopicta ‘Dottie’ (formerly Calathea roseopicta)

  • Common Name: Calathea ‘Dottie’

  • Origin: South America

  • Color: Very dark green to purplish-black leaves with bright pink central markings and edging

  • Growth: Rounded and low-growing, with broad leaves that move gently with light shifts

Dottie stands out in low light, where the pink patterning becomes even more pronounced against the dark leaf surface. The foliage is broad and slightly ruffled at the edges, giving it a plush, full look as it matures. Like many in the roseopicta group, it tends to stay compact and doesn’t mind lower light, though it can be slow to put out new growth when conditions change.
