Calathea Bluegrass (Calathea Rufibarba ‘Blue Grass’)

A soft, elegant tropical beauty with silvery-green leaves and a cascading, grassy texture that brings calm and sophistication to any indoor space.

The Calathea Bluegrass is a refined tropical plant admired for its slender, lance-shaped leaves that shimmer in hues of green, silver, and blue. A member of the Marantaceae family, this elegant variety originates from the lush rainforests of South America and is beloved for its delicate, flowing foliage that adds a gentle, natural rhythm to interiors. Its graceful form makes it a perfect choice for desktops, plant shelves, or minimalist planters where its subtle beauty can truly shine.

Unlike more upright Calatheas, the Bluegrass variety features a soft, arching growth habit that creates a lush, layered look without overwhelming a space. It thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys moist, well-draining soil, preferring consistent hydration without waterlogging. Moderate humidity keeps its leaves healthy and vibrant, and occasional misting or placement near a humidifier enhances its tropical vitality.

This plant is also pet-safe, making it an excellent choice for homes with cats or dogs. Known for being both decorative and resilient, Calathea Bluegrass is ideal for anyone looking to introduce a touch of tranquil greenery with minimal effort.

At Acacia, each Calathea Bluegrass is nurtured for perfect balance, lush color, and healthy leaf texture — embodying the quiet luxury of nature indoors.
