What is Calathea lutea?
Calathea lutea, commonly known as the Cuban Cigar Plant or Havana Cigar, is a tall-growing evergreen tropical plant known for its dramatic foliage and screening potential. It provides a lush, vertical presence in gardens and landscapes. Often used as an alternative to Heliconias, it offers a softer, leaf-focused look while still delivering strong tropical impact.
How to care for Calathea lutea
Plant in free-draining, organically enriched soil and water regularly, especially during warmer months. While it enjoys consistent moisture, avoid waterlogged conditions. Mulching will help retain soil moisture and protect the roots. Apply a slow-release fertiliser during the growing season to encourage healthy foliage and steady growth.
