Calathea Bluegrass (Calathea rufibarba ‘Blue Grass’)

Calathea Bluegrass is an elegant and vibrant tropical plant celebrated for its narrow, lance-shaped leaves in shades of green and silvery blue. A member of the Marantaceae family and native to South America, this low-growing variety features a soft, grassy appearance that gently cascades, adding texture and calm to any interior space. Its distinct variegation and flowing foliage make it a beautiful choice for small planters, desktops, and shelves.

Thriving in bright, indirect light, Calathea Bluegrass prefers consistently moist but well-draining soil. While it enjoys humidity, it is adaptable to average indoor conditions and benefits from occasional misting or proximity to a humidifier. Watering when the top inch of soil feels dry helps maintain its lush appearance without risking root rot.

This plant is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe and stylish option for homes with cats or dogs. Calathea Bluegrass is also relatively low-maintenance, ideal for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts. Its graceful form and subtle sheen offer a serene accent to any home, office, or plant collection, bringing a touch of natural beauty and gentle movement to indoor environments.
