Calathea for the home: signs
An indigenous inhabitant of humid tropical forests, always shrouded in light twilight, Calathea is very capricious in care. But if you have patience and provide it with all the necessary conditions, it will bring not only beauty into your life, but will also become a kind of amulet for your home and its inhabitants.
If you don’t like plants and don’t know how to care for them, or you simply don’t have time to take care of them, you shouldn’t get a calathea. It definitely will not take root in your home.
Experts who study the bioenergetic properties of plants believe that the energy of calathea is directed outward. This means that it brings the greatest benefit to a house where a large family lives, each member of which is constantly engaged in active activities. Calathea flower neutralizes aggressive energy, helps to achieve success in collective affairs, helping to ensure that everything started is completed peacefully, without disputes, quarrels and misunderstandings.
According to another statement by the same experts, calathea allows people to find a life goal and set priorities: it gives courage to the shy and indecisive, and helps those who don’t know what to do in life find a profession or hobby they like.

Interaction between human character and plant type
In the language of flowers, Calathea does not have a special meaning, so you can give it to friends who have family problems and whom you want to help solve them, or to already happy families to increase their happiness. However, if the owners do not like to care for any plants, you should refrain from giving such a flower - due to the fact that Calathea is difficult to care for, you can upset the person, harming his self-esteem. For people who do not have enough time to care for flowers, it is better to give paintings depicting them - this way you can convey the wishes associated with flowers, as well as the energy of the depicted flowers.
Hand-drawn paintings will cope better with this, but if ordering a painting is too expensive for the donor, you can also order a photograph printed on canvas - the main thing is that the photograph is created with good intentions and pure thoughts.
