  • Common Name: Calathea ‘Fusion White’
  • Botanical Name: Calathea lietzei
  • Family: Marantaceae
  • Mature Size: Up to 2 feet tall
  • Native Area: Central Mexico to tropical South America

Striking Foliage

The variegated leaves of Calathea ‘Fusion White’ are a visual delight. Here’s what makes them stand out:

  • Green Base: The leaves feature a rich green base.

  • Magenta Underside: Flip the leaves, and you’ll discover a magenta hue running down the stems.

Care Tips

Calathea ‘Fusion White’ can be a bit particular about its care, but once you get it right, the results are worth it:

  • Light: Provide filtered bright light. Too much sun can fade the markings, while too little shade may hinder proper development.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining mix, such as one recommended for African violets.
  • Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogged conditions.
  • Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures (65–85°F) and high humidity (at least 50%).
  • Leaf Care: Regularly wipe down the large leaves to remove dust. Avoid leaf shine products.

Common Problems

  • Brown Tips: Some browning at the leaf tips is normal; the delicate foliage of ‘Fusion White’ is prone to this.
  • Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect your plant from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Calathea ‘Fusion White’ is a conversation starter—a living work of art that adds elegance and vibrancy to any room. With a little care and attention, you’ll enjoy its captivating foliage year-round.

 

Remember, the beauty lies in the details—those delicate white markings against the lush green canvas. So, welcome this tropical gem into your home and let its leaves weave their magic!
