CALATHEA VEITCHIANA ‘OPPENHEIMER’ (oppenheimer calathea) 6”
Goeppertia Veitchiana ‘Oppenheimer’ 6”—A Botanical Masterpiece for Your Home
Meet the Goeppertia Veitchiana ‘Oppenheimer’ 6”, a true showstopper in the world of Calatheas. With its velvety, deep green leaves patterned with intricate light-green veining and a striking purple underside, this beauty brings elegance to any space. As a member of the prayer plant family, it gently moves its leaves throughout the day, responding to light like a graceful dancer.
The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):
• Light: Loves bright, indirect light—too much direct sun can fade its dramatic patterns.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy—this one enjoys a steady sip, not a flood.
• Humidity: High humidity is key! Mist it, place it near a pebble tray, or let it live its best life with a humidifier.
What It’s Telling You:
• Happy Signs: Vibrant, upright foliage and gentle leaf movement throughout the day.
• Needs TLC: Crispy edges? Bump up the humidity. Droopy leaves? Check your watering schedule—it might be thirsty or overwatered.
Good News for Pet Parents:
This beauty is pet-safe, so you can enjoy its lush charm without worry!
