Rufibarba comes from the Marantaceae family. This tropical perennial, also known as velvet cathea or furry feather cathea, has leaves that resemble fluffy feathers. This plant is ideal for your house and place of business because it can give you the impression that you are in a small garden while it is standing alone. Amazing foliage is their USP.
While their foliage is huge, taking care of them is not so rocket science! Just keep them away from direct sunlight and their watering guide is also quite sorted: every 5-6 days in summer and every 10-14 days in winter. The best place to put them will be your living room.
The most frequent factor in the death of a Calathea is overwatering, which results in root rot. Keep the soil barely damp rather than sopping wet. Overwatering causes many problems in Rufibarba like yellowing of leaves, tips turning brown, offensive smell, or After watering, the soil remains wet for a very long time.
Although the Calathea Rufibarba green care is a simple plant to maintain, it can be a little sensitive when it comes to delivering the right nutrition. The dense fuzzy foliage makes it difficult to check the plant for bugs after bringing it home. For at least two weeks, we advise keeping it separate from other plants in your house.
