Calathea roseopicta Princess Jessie® is a decorative, tropical foliage plant, with a compact growth habit. Princess Jessie® is a stunning variety with a fresh appearance due to the broad, oval, shiny leaves and a beautiful leaf pattern of deep green and pink markings. The undersides of the leaves are pinkish/purple. As a typical Calathea, C. Princess Jessie® also deserves the nickname 'living plant' because it closes or lifts the leaves at night and uncurls or lowers them again in the morning. Calathea roseopicta originates as an evergreen perennial in tropical regions of Brazil. There it grows in the shady, damp understory of rainforests. Another internationally used name for Calathea roseopicta is: Rose Painted Calathea.
