Calathea ‘Dottie’ (Goeppertia roseopicta ‘Dottie’) is a striking tropical foliage plant admired for its nearly black, deep green leaves outlined with vivid pink markings and delicate pink veins that create a dramatic, artistic appearance. The undersides of its leaves are typically a rich burgundy-purple, adding to its ornamental appeal. It thrives in bright, indirect light, warm temperatures, high humidity, and consistently moist, well-draining soil. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch its beautiful foliage, and allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. This elegant, compact plant is ideal for adding bold color to indoor spaces. Pet-friendly: Yes, it is non-toxic to cats and dogs. USDA hardiness zones: 10–12. It is sensitive to cold and frost, so it is best grown indoors in cooler climates.
