Calathea ‘Rufibarba,’ often called the Furry Feather Calathea, is prized for its long, gracefully arching leaves and unique velvety texture. A member of the Goeppertia rufibarba family, it features rich green foliage with soft, burgundy-purple undersides that add depth and movement as the leaves shift throughout the day. Unlike many patterned calatheas, its appeal comes from texture and form, giving it a refined, understated elegance.

Care Tips

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the foliage and cause leaf edges to brown.

Water

Keep soil consistently slightly moist. Allow only the surface of the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Care

Prefers warm temperatures, higher humidity, and good air circulation. Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix with bark or perlite for airflow around the roots. Avoid cold drafts and reduce watering slightly during periods of slower growth.
