Details

A densely growing prayer plant with elongated leaves in dark and light green and a purple underside. The leaves fold up slightly in the evening, and the plant is safe for cats and dogs.

Species: Calathea 'Compactstar' · Height: 80 cm (including nursery pot) · Pot size: ø19 cm

The peacock plant Calathea 'Compactstar' has elongated leaves with a pattern in dark and light green and a purple underside. The plant grows dense and full, is 80 cm tall including the grow pot, and sits in a pot of ø19 cm.

On the floor next to a chair or on a low plant table, it gives the living room or bedroom a calm green spot, and in the evening you'll see the leaves fold up slightly. Place it in a bright spot, but out of direct sun, and keep the soil lightly moist with lime-free water or rainwater. Higher humidity prevents dry leaf edges. This houseplant is not toxic to cats and dogs. It comes in the grow pot; you choose a decorative pot separately.

Delivery

Shipping a two-metre plant takes more than a box and some tape. That's why we do it differently from an ordinary online shop.

How your plant arrives in one piece

Fresh from the greenhouse
Your plant does not sit in a warehouse for weeks. The grower only takes it out of the greenhouse after you order and prepares it straight away.
Packed securely
In a box made for plants. Plant and soil are secured and a protective sleeve keeps the leaves intact, so nothing shifts on the way.
Protected from heat and frost
Is it very hot or freezing outside? Then we add a cold pack or heat pack to the box, so the weather doesn't affect your plant on the way.
The right carrier for every size
Smaller plants are delivered by PostNL or DHL. The very largest plants travel upright on a pallet with a specialist carrier.
You know exactly when it arrives
As soon as your plant is on its way, you receive track & trace by email, so you can make sure someone is home and, for a large plant, someone to help carry it in.

★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd

Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.

★★★★★Goede service en een mooie plant

Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

Frequently asked questions about Calathea 'Compactstar'

The questions we're asked most about this plant. Can't find yours? Our plant experts are happy to help.

Ask your question

Is the Calathea Compactstar toxic to cats?

No, the ASPCA lists calatheas as non-toxic to cats and dogs. That makes this prayer plant a safe choice for a home with pets.

How do you care for a Calathea Compactstar?

Place it in a bright spot out of direct sun and keep the soil lightly moist with soft water or rainwater. Don't let it dry out. From April to September, give houseplant feed at half strength every two weeks.

Why is my Calathea Compactstar getting brown edges?

Brown edges are usually caused by dry air, the soil drying out or hard tap water. Ideally water with rainwater or soft water and keep the soil lightly moist. Higher humidity, for example from occasional misting, also helps.

How big does a Calathea Compactstar get?

The Compactstar grows densely and stays fairly compact, as the name suggests. At XXLplant you buy it 80 cm tall in a ø19 cm pot, measured including the nursery pot. It grows more in width than in height.

Why does my Calathea fold up its leaves?

Calatheas move their leaves with the light: in the evening they fold up slightly and in the morning they open again. This is normal behaviour and not a sign of disease. If the leaves curl up during the day, it's probably getting too little water or the air is too dry.

Where should you put a Calathea Compactstar?

Choose a bright spot without direct sun, out of draughts and between 18 and 24 °C. Below 16 °C it gets too cold. A bathroom with daylight or a spot in the living room a little way back from the window works well.
