# Hi! Nice to meet you! I just got 2 Calathea plants. Nathaniel and…

Hi! Nice to meet you! I just got 2 Calathea plants. Nathaniel and Sheena. They are my first of this species. They appear to be Calathea Medallion Roseopicta by what I found but I can’t find that exact species in the list so they are listed here as Calathea Medallion. They have a gorgeous leaf pattern with crimson underbellies. The first one is Nathaniel. He’s a memorial plant. The second has more delicate markings, I’m naming her Sheena (apparently). I think she has a new leaf emerging. They were very damp when I got them so I’m trying to figure out where to place them and let them dry out. I’m going to wait at least 3 months to repot them.
