The Dottie Calathea (Calathea roseopicta ‘Dottie’) is a stunning houseplant known for its striking, deep purple foliage adorned with bright pink stripes. With its eye-catching contrast of colors, the Dottie Calathea adds a pop of bold style to any indoor space. This tropical plant thrives in low to medium light conditions and loves a humid environment, making it perfect for bathrooms or cozy corners where it can show off its unique beauty.
We've put together a comprehensive Calathea care guide chock full of watering tips, fertilization tricks and other troubleshooting advice. Head on over to our Advanced Calathea Care Guide here.
The leaves of the Dottie Calathea exhibit nyctinasty—this means they fold up slightly at night, creating a subtle movement that gives it a “living” appearance. This fascinating behavior makes it a favorite among plant enthusiasts who enjoy plants with personality and rhythm.
The Dottie Calathea is part of the Marantaceae family, which includes many other beautiful “prayer plants.” This cultivar originated through selective breeding to enhance its vivid pink markings and rich, dark leaves. Native to tropical rainforests, the Dottie Calathea has adapted well to indoor environments and has quickly become popular for its unique appearance and easy-care nature. Known for its visual appeal, it’s a wonderful choice for plant lovers looking to add a bit of drama and elegance to their plant collection.

We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location.
Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.
We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.
Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
