How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level; DLI is the daily light “dose” for grow lights.
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none — whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).

Goeppertia (Calathea) veitchiana 'Medaillon' – Bold Tropical Foliage for Humid Homes
Goeppertia veitchiana 'Medaillon', still often called Calathea 'Medallion', stands out with its large, rounded leaves painted in layers of green brushstrokes and deep burgundy undersides. This rainforest native not only brings lush, patterned beauty into your home but also puts on a daily show – its foliage folds upward at night and reopens by morning, a motion known as nyctinasty. With proper care, it thrives in warm, humid spaces and is fully pet-safe.

- Humidity: Aim for 60 – 70% humidity. Group plants or use a humidifier
- Temperature: Ideal range: 18 – 27 °C. Avoid drafts and temperature swings
- Soil: Use peat-free potting soil with perlite and orchid bark for drainage and aeration

Common Issues with Goeppertia veitchiana 'Medaillon'
