Calathea with fuzzy leaves refers to Calathea rufibarba, also known as "Furry Feather Calathea" or "Velvet Calathea," due to the fine, soft hairs on its leaves and stalks. It features long, wavy green leaves with deep purple undersides and requires bright, indirect light, consistently moist but not soggy soil, and high humidity to thrive. This plant is non-toxic to pets and is known for improving indoor air quality, but it is sensitive to tap water, cold drafts, and direct sunlight, which can cause leaf damage.
