I received an order last week and am so happy with it that I have just made another order. The plants are strong and healthy and the service prompt and easy to order. Thank you for your great service.

Patricia Edwards

Holly has been so helpful, she has been great in sending us tree photos, hole dimensions and upgrading our order with new stock arriving, very happy with the prompt replies and great service we have received – thank you

Eddie C

Could not recommend enough - I placed quite a large order and needed it delivered on a particular day. Holly was extremely helpful in getting that organised and even assisted with a last minute plant swap.

Harry Hart

I bought a Lilly Pilly from here and 100% will be buying from these guys again. Although the first tree didn’t look good within the first week, the team were so helpful and provided great service with the 30 day guarantee.

Sophie Robertson

Extremely impressed with the easy to navigate website, huge selection of plants but best of all were the prices. As we were looking to buy bulk Lilly Pilly’s for a hedge the discounts available were fantastic for a 10 pack.

Jessica Roe

We've used Brisbane Plant Nursery for a few of our projects over the past year and have been impressed with the quality of stock and the communication of any updates for our orders.

How to Care for Your Rose Painted Calathea

The Rose Painted Calathea is as hardy as it is beautiful. With the right care, this plant will thrive and continue to brighten your space with its stunning foliage.

Light Requirements

Place your Rose Painted Calathea in bright, indirect light or part shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves and fade their vibrant colours. A well-lit room with filtered light is ideal.

Watering Schedule

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering during cooler months. Regular misting can help maintain the humidity levels this tropical plant loves.

Soil Preferences

Plant in a well-draining, peat-based potting mix enriched with organic matter. This ensures the soil retains moisture while providing adequate drainage to prevent root rot.

Temperature and Humidity

The Rose Painted Calathea, also known as Calathea Roseopicta, thrives in warm, humid conditions. Maintain temperatures between 18–24°C and protect it from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes. Use a humidifier or place the plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase humidity if needed.

Fertilising

Feed your Calathea with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). This supports healthy growth and enhances the vibrancy of the foliage.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking fresh and healthy. Prune lightly to maintain its compact shape and encourage new growth. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and enhance their striking appearance.
