I have no idea why I continue to buy Caltheas. I kill them all the time. But I brought one back from the dead this year so I felt a little more confident. Also, I have a terrarium that I can keep them in this winter. I will mix them with some begonias. Last winter I kept the Begonias in the terrarium and they grew so well they were coming up out of the top of the container.

So I picked up this Calthea.

This is a short leaf Spiderplant. Anyone have an idea of a name? Bonnie I know is short leaf but pics I have seen it usually is curly. This one leaves are not curly. It could be because Lowes keep their plants in a very dark corner of the store.

I wonder if it gets some light the leave might curl. Anybody have any thoughts?
