# I recently purchased a Calathea makoyana. I’ve had several of these…

_Posted by deadonstage on 2026-10-09_

I recently purchased a Calathea makoyana. I’ve had several of these over the years and this one, and the group it was in at the nursery, looked unique. The colors are not as vibrant and it almost has a tawny cast to it. I could’ve sworn it was labeled as some kind of variegation, but the label is basic. Does such a thing exist? I bought it at a very reputable nursery in my area, so I don’t feel like I was duped.
