{"product_id":"calathea-fasciata","title":"Calathea Fasciata","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"640\"\u003eCalathea fasciata is a bold tropical houseplant prized for its large, rounded foliage and dramatic banded pattern. Its broad green leaves feature deep, alternating stripes that create a clean, sculptural look, while the leaf undersides often show rich burgundy to purple tones for added contrast. With bright, indirect light and steady humidity, its foliage develops a lush, full appearance that stands out beautifully in indoor plant displays. Decorative, pet-friendly, and highly ornamental, this variety brings a refined rainforest feel to shelves, tabletops, plant stands, and bright indoor spaces. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"659\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"659\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"19ty5ny\" data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"774\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"686\"\u003eBold banded foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e – large, rounded green leaves feature broad dark striping for a dramatic tropical look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"mnpewz\" data-start=\"775\" data-end=\"885\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"803\"\u003ePurple leaf undersides\u003c\/strong\u003e – burgundy to purple undersides add depth and visual interest as the leaves move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1psmenw\" data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"913\"\u003ePrayer plant movement\u003c\/strong\u003e – foliage may gently lift and lower from day to night, giving the plant a lively, animated appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ur3omo\" data-start=\"1017\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1044\"\u003eElegant indoor accent\u003c\/strong\u003e – compact, decorative, and well-suited for desks, shelves, plant stands, offices, or bright corners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"2398\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"8p527u\" data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1383\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain strong color and bold leaf patterning.
