Description
Calathea 'Bicajoux Pink' is a captivating indoor plant renowned for its striking foliage and delicate pink flowers. The large, oval leaves display a vibrant green hue with intricate patterns, adding a touch of elegance to any interior space. This cultivar is particularly noted for its pale pink blooms, which emerge on tall stems above the foliage, providing a delightful contrast and enhancing its ornamental appeal. Ideal for indoor settings, 'Bicajoux Pink' thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a warm, humid environment, making it well-suited to the Perth climate.
To ensure optimal growth, plant 'Bicajoux Pink' in a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix rich in organic matter. Maintain consistent soil moisture by watering regularly, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Increase humidity levels by misting the leaves or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water. During the growing season, apply a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser monthly to promote healthy foliage and flowering. Regularly remove any faded leaves or spent flowers to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal.
