Calathea 'Musaica'

Network Calathea 🌿✨ is loved for its crisp mosaic leaf pattern made up of tiny dark green veins over lighter green foliage, giving it a clean graphic look that almost seems hand-drawn. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the pattern stays sharp and the foliage stays fresh on a shelf, desk, or cozy corner away from harsh sun. This plant is generally manageable, but it prefers even moisture and appreciates a little extra humidity more than tougher low-water houseplants do. Pro tip: if the leaf edges start crisping, check for dry air, dry soil, or a spot too close to a vent 💧.
