Calathea 'Surprise Star'

• Water this Calathea two or three times a month across the summer season.
• When watering, aim to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged, and reduce frequency in winter. Only water in winter if the surface soil is dry to touch.
• This variety is happiest in good humidity, so will perform well in a bathroom or conservatory. A well-lit location away from direct sunlight is ideal.
• A staple temperature of around 15C should be maintained in the room where this plant is displayed.
• Mist the leaves regularly or sit the nursery pot on a tray of stones with water.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
