Calathea Rosy Pink Prayer Plant (Calathea Roseopicta)

Gorgeous bright pink magenta leaves with contrasting deeper edges — the Calathea Rosy is the prayer plant that sells out for a reason.

The Calathea Roseopicta 'Rosy' adds color to any houseplant collection with its stunning crimson-pink leaves and contrasting deeper edges. New leaves start light pink with a green tint and deepen as they mature. Like all Calatheas, it's a prayer plant — leaves rise and fold at night, then open again in the morning. It appreciates humidity and indirect light, and rewards consistent care with genuinely spectacular foliage. Available in a 6" nursery pot or Selene Ceramic Marble Planter (6.5").

What I love about it

The Rosy is the Calathea that makes people stop and look twice. The pink-magenta leaves are genuinely vivid — not a subtle blush, but a bold, saturated color that reads as almost tropical. New leaves emerge light pink with a green tint and deepen as they mature, which means the plant is always changing and always interesting. The prayer plant movement — leaves rising at night and opening in the morning — adds a living quality that makes it feel like a companion rather than just a decoration. Keep humidity up to prevent edge browning.
