Lin, beautiful pictures as always. I have the same experience with Calathea. Maybe they're more tropical and meant to be indoor plants here? This big happy one was in the greenhouse at Selby i.e. controlled temp and humidity. Hmm

Since outdoors is a greenhouse most of the year here, I simply have refused to have any indoor plants. I think they invite bugs.

I thought I'd never seen a planting of spiral ginger here, before I found mine but, lo! and behold a huge bed of them at Selby. Just about finished blooming but they were still magnificent.
