Calathea Helen Kennedy is named after botanist Helen Kennedy, who first described this species from collections made in Panama.

This is a fairly uncommon species with striking foliage that appears to be painted like peacock feathers.

Calathea Helen Kennedy care:

This plant enjoys a well draining soil that can retain a bit of moisture that is rich in organic matter. Allow your Calathea to dry out about half way before watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water or remain dry for extended periods. Calathea due prefer a higher humidity environment in order to maintain their beautiful foliage. Provide your Calathea Helen Kennedy with plenty of medium to bright indirect light.
