Calathea Rufibarba is a tall growing calathea growing up to 1 metre (depending on the pot it is in), it features tall red stems Deep green elongated wavy leaves with a deep purple underneath. The leaves have a soft velvet feel to them.
They are suitable for small and larger pots and are quite often used in offices and indoors but are great for patios in the warmer months. Pot your rufibarba into a 20-30cm pot once it grows too big in its current pot.
It tollerates low and medium light levels and low to medium water. It does not hurt to let your rufibarba dry out a little before you water it. They can handle a fair amount of neglect. If you do accidently neglect it for too long give it a good soak with some wetting agent and you should be fine!
