Dynamic Beauty That Responds to Light
This plant isn't just beautiful; it’s interactive! The Calathea Orbifolia performs a daily ritual known as nyctinasty.

The plant’s broad leaves are equipped with tiny pores that trap volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxins, purifying the air around you. Additionally, it acts as a natural humidifier, releasing moisture to enhance your home’s atmosphere.
