    I dragged my poor husband to (yet another) plant nursery and I thought he was standing bored in a corner but he turns to me with these big eyes and starts gushing “Kell, you have to come see this plant! Touch the leaves! You should get this one” (worth noting that five minutes before he had implied I had plenty of plants)
    It was of course a velvet touch. It might be my favorite plant in my entire collection.

    My white fusion died the other day. Sadly I wasn’t upset, actually relieved to not have to worry about it. It was the most diva plant I’ve ever owned. I used filtered water, got it a humidifier and left it with it. Monitored soil moisture levels. Used recommended soil. It put off new growth and they instantly browned or withered.

      The Soaring Seaward Family I grouped mine with other plants to raise the ambient humidity from respiration(?). It did a bit better with that, but I noticed its pot cracking and repotted it. All downhill after the repotting. Oh well, live and learn.

      Mine did that too but I kept watering it and it was like it went dormant and it is now regrowing. So.... if you still have it around you might try watering it. But yes, it's a diva for sure. The second one I had browned and died and it has not regrown at all, though I haven't given up on it yet.

Although Polish does have a lot of consonants I don't understand, like 'sc' and 'cz'. I once landed on an airport I can't even pronounce, Rzeszów.

    My very first calathea was an Orbifolia. I had been really getting into growing house plants for about 2 or 3 months when I stumbled across some at one of my local nurseries. They had a few crispy edges and the manager of the nursery gave me 30% off of the $6.99, 4" potted Orbifolia. Needless to say I bought 3. Then I went back a week later when they got their shipment in and got 5 more. I am now the very happy, proud caretaker of 8 gorgeous calathea Orbifolia, 5 of which are growing together in one giant pot. They still have some crispy leaves, but they have their own humidifier and I quite literally worship the ground they grow in. I absolutely adore them and pictures truly never do the silvery green leaves justice. If you have a chance to get one take it. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found so many of them locally, in relatively good condition, and for such a low price. They are hands down in my top three favorite house plans.

      How do you care for it? I have one for almost a year now and it is the most difficult plant to take care of. I have a lot of brown/yellow spots on the leaves and I had to cut off a lot of them. It got to a point where I had like 1/4 of the original plant left, so I put a bowl with water underneath (for higher humidity) and I only water it with filtered water. It started to push new foliage afterwards but the spots are still there. No other calathea I have is so demanding.
      But I love it so much I'm not willing to give up on it just yet :)

    Lovely video, I would love them all!! ^.^
    About the pronunciation, a good trick is to put the latin names in Google Translate and set it to Italian to check how they sound. We have the same sounds of latin (mostly), hence you'll get a pretty close pronunciation.
    For example, when you see the syllable "sci" (like in faSCIata), the sound to make is the same sound in the middle of the word "faSHion". So the correct pronounciation would be like "faSHiata" (sci = sh).
    Btw Fasciata means stripped or "bandaged" (in the sense of covered by wide stripes) both in Italian and in Latin. :)
    Other examples: carnosa (like in Hoya carnosa) means plumped/meaty/succulent in both in Italian and Latin. Zebrina (like in Alocasia zebrina) in both languages means stripped like a zebra. Leopardina (like Calathea leopardina) means stripped like a leopard. Pavonii or pavonina means the plant has a pattern similar to peacock feathers. Cupra means colored with dark red. Picta means painted. And so on...
    In general, in botanical Latin the names always have something to do with the look of the plant or with the name of the botanist who categorized the plant (like in Hoya hoffmannii, from Hoffmann).

    I have the calathea lutea and I often forget that it’s a calathea except when it “prays” it like a lot of sun and where I love, thrives in direct sun, it grows super tall 3-4m and the backs of new leaves feel a little velvety but yeah such a weird calathea, it doesn’t look like a calathea and like very different light to a calathea 🙂

    14:00 "it looks like a banana tree" Definitely does! In Indonesia they call it Banana tree ornament tree, I didn't know it's a calathea! If you google "tanaman pisang hias", you'll see it has red&yellow flowers/fruits(?)!

    • @hanoianboy9562
      @hanoianboy9562 3 года назад

      Those are members of the Heliconia genus, which is from the banana family, Musaceae. Calatheas are from Marantaceae, the Maranta family.

    I have 3 plants from this list. The calathea crocata ‘candela’ that I have, have much darker leaves. The flowers last min. 4 months. I have to say, out of all calatheas that I have the leopardina is the easiest to care for. Grows and flowers in low light and has close to no brown tips. Love this video and the list of plants you assembled.

    Thanks for the education Kaylee! I always thought I had an Ornata but I definitely have a Beauty Star! I thought mine just looked a little off (not hard to assume when calathea are so fussy!). Although I wish I had an Ornata! Love the deeper green.

    I've had my white fusion for a couple months now. Shes been doing good but definatley fussy! Been trying different light patterns, about 6 hours of partial/full sun 3 times a week and shaded north facing window for the rest of it and shes happy. Leaves are really susceptible to chemical damage tho, and the soil likes to stay moist. Thin leaves that wither easily so it's important to prune and monitor. A beauty tho

    My first calathea was a Zebrina and it is so soft to touch!
    I loved it instantly and not knowing anything about it brought it home, researched it and I find it to be a easy plant to take care of instead of all the story's I read about it being a diva plant so I guess I'm a overprotective plant mom now 🤔😊

  • @sheriseipoo
    @sheriseipoo 3 года назад +1

    I have a Calathea White Fusion! They’re not too bad to take care of. I think the key is just accepting you might get some crispy edges on some of the whiter edges if you don’t have it in a terrarium. I live in Florida, so the humidity factor takes care of itself, but they’re just really sensitive to tap water, mostly. Definitely worth the marginal effort to see the beautiful leaves 💚

    @thesidecargoes 5 лет назад +1

    My white fusion is a D-I-V-A indeed. Filtered water is a must and I have 45-60% humidity and I still spray it. The nursery where I got it clearly didn't take great care of it, as I got it with tons of crispy edges, but new leaves are starting to look well. Hopefully I've got it down. It's small, but utterly gorgeous!

    So happy that my bella and silver plate are in the extremely rare category 😁 I hope Kaylee have these plants now they are so so pretty and on the more easier side. Calathea lutea is also super common in Indonesia, most people use it as aesthetic purpose for their outdoor area and so many people hate then eventually remove the plant because it attracts mealybugs a lot!

    I just bought a calathea white star on sale for 8€/9$! I admired yours in the back, while watching the video and was surprised to see it be listed in the very rare section. I'm glad I made such a steal 😍 she's 55cm tall. I can't wait for her to arrive ❤

  • @entitled_little_cat
    @entitled_little_cat 5 лет назад

    I recently got a little calathea amabilis, and honestly I would recommend one to any first time calathea owners! It's sometimes listed as a stromanthe or maranta amabilis, or a fishbone calathea (I think anyway!). The ambient humidity of the UK is enough for it to thrive, and it's throwing out new leaves almost daily! I have a magic star as well, and my amabilis has been so much more low maintenance - plus it was only £3.95 for a 6cm pot 😍

Lately I've been stopping at our local greenhouse because winter here has been cold and very snowy and I can go where its warm and green for a few minutes and trick myself into thinking winter is gone. Anyway, I've been drawn to a white fusion calathea and now if they still have any when I get back there I'm definitely going to get it!

    I have a calathea white fusion and it's gorgeous! However, I had to buy a cloche to keep it happy. It kept dropping leaves within the first few months of me buying it, and even sitting it right next to a humidifier didn't keep it happy. However, once I put the cloche over it, it grew and unfurled 2 new leaves within a couple of months and is much, much happier. Having the cloche is nice as well because it keeps the soil damp for so long, so I don't have to water nearly as often as my other calatheas. Gorgeous plant, for sure! But you definitely have to be willing to put in the work to keep it happy.

    I love this series! Really educational and entertaining. But since i'm kind of "new" to the hobby of plants, one thing i realized is that i'm not always sure of what the common plants are, like I now know what the rarer philodendrons and calatheas look like, but I have close to no idea what is considered the common ones. I had never heard the term of calatheas before watching your videos, so I am totally clueless. Would love some quick examples of the commons just as a quick referens or reminder. Thank you for these videos.
