Calathea Dottie Prayer Plant

Bold dark purple leaves with vivid pink accents — the Calathea Dottie is the statement prayer plant that demands attention the moment it enters a room.

The Calathea Dottie is a diva that's surprisingly easy to care for. It thrives in low to medium light, prefers consistently moist soil, and rewards a little humidity with genuinely spectacular foliage. Like all Calatheas, it's a prayer plant — leaves rise and fold at night, then open again in the morning. Air-purifying and non-toxic. Available in a 4" or 6" nursery pot or Selene Ceramic Marble Planter (6.5").

What I love about it

The Dottie is the Calathea for people who want maximum drama. The dark purple leaves with vivid pink accents are genuinely bold — they read as almost black in certain light, with the pink markings creating a striking contrast that's unlike any other houseplant. The prayer plant movement adds a living quality that makes it feel like a companion. Keep humidity up to keep the leaves looking their best, and enjoy one of the most visually striking plants you can own.
