🐾 Calathea 'White Fusion'

• Botanical Name: Calathea ‘White Fusion’

• Common Name(s): Peacock Plant, Zebra Plant

🌿 Description

Calathea ‘White Fusion’ is a living watercolor painting. Its elongated leaves display striking white and green marbling across the top surface, while the undersides reveal a soft light purple to pinkish hue that often extends down the stems.

Native to the tropical Americas (within a genus known for decorative foliage), this variety is especially prized for its high-contrast variegation and graceful leaf movement. Like other prayer-type plants, its leaves may subtly shift position throughout the day.

It’s elegant. It’s dramatic. It knows it’s pretty.

🌟 FEATURES

🎨 High-Contrast Foliage

Creamy white variegation splashed across vibrant green leaves.

💜 Colorful Undersides

Soft lavender-pink tones on the back of leaves and stems add depth and dimension.

🌿 Statement Plant

Perfect as a focal point in bright, indirect light settings.

☀️ Light

Thrives in bright light with an indirect view of the sky.
Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the white variegation. Lower light may reduce contrast and slow growth.

💧 Water

Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry about 25% before watering again.
Calatheas prefer consistent moisture. Do not allow the soil to fully dry out.

🌡 Temperature & Environment

• Prefers 65–80°F.

• Keep away from drafts and heating vents.

• Stable indoor conditions support healthier foliage.

🌱 Soil

Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive indoor mix. Drainage holes are essential.

🐾 Pet Safety

Considered pet-friendly, though nibbling should always be discouraged.

🌿 Fleurish Tip

If the leaves begin crisping at the edges, evaluate watering consistency first. Calatheas respond best to stable moisture and steady light. Consistency over chaos keeps this beauty glowing.
