Big, Round, Silver-Striped Foliage

Calathea orbifolia is a true showpiece in the houseplant world. Huge, rounded leaves unfurl in soft waves, each one painted with silvery stripes that radiate from the center like a living mandala. As the foliage catches light, the pattern shifts from soft sage to shimmering silver-green, adding instant calm and luxury to bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices. Unlike many dramatic tropicals, Calathea orbifolia is grown primarily for its foliage, so it looks good every single day—not just when in bloom.

Lush, Low-Mounding, and Wide-Spreading

Rather than growing tall like a tree, Calathea orbifolia forms a low, lush mound of foliage. New leaves emerge from a central crown on short, sturdy petioles, slowly building a complete, rounded silhouette. Indoors, most plants grow to about 18–24 inches tall and 18–30 inches wide in a roomy pot, with individual leaves often reaching 8–12 inches across. The growth rate is moderate: not so fast that it outgrows its space overnight, but steady enough that you’ll notice fresh leaves unfurling regularly in good conditions. This wide, low habit makes it perfect as a floor plant beside a chair, under a window, or on a plant stand where those big leaves can really shine.

Soft Light, Even Moisture, and High Humidity = A Happy Calathea Orbifolia

Calathea orbifolia prefers bright, indirect light—light that’s strong enough to read by but softened by distance or a sheer curtain. It will tolerate medium to lower light, but the striping will be boldest and growth most vigorous with bright, filtered light and zero harsh sun on the leaves. The soil should be kept evenly moist but never soggy. Allow the top inch to dry, then water thoroughly and let the excess drain away. This plant is sensitive to salts and chemicals, so filtered, distilled, or rainwater is ideal if your tap water is hard or heavily treated.

Humidity is the secret sauce with orbifolia. It thrives in a warm, humid environment, with a relative humidity of around 60% or higher. Grouping plants, using a pebble tray, or running a small humidifier nearby will help prevent brown edges and keep the leaves lush. Standard indoor temperatures between 65°F and 80°F are ideal; protect it from cold drafts, sudden temperature swings, and anything below approximately 60°F.

Use Indoors as a Soft, Spa-Like Focal Plant

Think of Calathea orbifolia as interior “landscape architecture” for your home. Indoors, it’s a perfect focal plant in a bedroom, living room, or spa-like bathroom where you want soft, leafy texture without harsh lines. Its broad, rounded leaves and low profile make it an excellent choice for filling empty corners, framing accent chairs, or anchoring plant groupings near north- or east-facing windows.

Because Calatheas are considered non-toxic to pets, orbifolia is a great candidate for households with cats and dogs (though you’ll still want to discourage chewing). It pairs beautifully with other tropical plants—pair it with upright plants like fiddle-leaf figs and palms for height, or with trailing pothos and ferns for a layered, jungle-like look. In warm, frost-free climates, it can summer outside in a shaded, humid spot, then move indoors before temperatures drop.

Fudge!
Format: Kindle
Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry. That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there. First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions. That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point. For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact. I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
An intriguing story that played out slowly while introducing some unique characters. The story became quite fascinating to read as these same characters provided startling revelations to their lives. As their relationships evolve, more drama and mystery is revealed adding to my fascination. I can’t wait to read more.

Outstanding Story!!!!!!!
Format: Kindle
Oh I loved this story. Sera is such an amazing, fun character. She has so much fire inside of herself. She has humor that makes you laugh with her sassy comments. The guys are fantastic. I don’t feel as if we really have gotten to know who and what they are but they are such a mix of fae. The story is extremely well written and developed. It had me pulled in and didn’t let go. There was so much action, drama, and suspense. Then we get to the ending and goodness there is so much going on. This ending was a major cliffhanger and I absolutely can’t wait to see what happens next.

Exceptional
Format: Kindle
I think this an exciting entertaining story different from other fantasy reverse harmen story. I love the 1st book in this series and hope it continues to weave a story of friendship, love and disappointment as well as sadness. The cliffhanger was gripping and held you in suspense that waiting until the next book was released was almost too much. I’m so glad I waited to read this series until the majority of the books were released. Katie May and Quinn Arthur’s are wonderful writers and I’m looking forward to reading more from both of them.

I don’t mind a cliffhanger,
Format: Kindle
but I dropped at least one star because of the obnoxious gloating of the author after the cliffhanger. Seriously - I don’t understand making your readers angry because you’re smug and expecting them to keep reading your books. I was very definitely enjoying the series. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth and mixed feelings about continuing the series.
