The Calathea Tropicstar  is an absolute showstopper. Not only does it have striking, contrasting green patterns, but the leaves are wonderfully fuzzy to the touch. It is a tactile, gorgeous addition to any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eLike all plants in the Calathea family, she brings the drama and has some specific demands if she is going to live in your flat. But if you respect her boundaries and keep her away from your central heating, she will reward you by folding her fuzzy leaves up to sleep every night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow to keep her happy:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/b\u003e She needs bright, indirect light to keep those patterns looking sharp.
