Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the foliage of a Calathea lose its patterns and color? It’s almost always due to light that is too intense or direct — place it in bright indirect light and the patterns will naturally regain their intensity.
Which plant should you choose to brighten a dark corner in the evening without electricity? A hydroponic plant on a battery-powered LED base is ideal — it provides both living greenery and soft ambient light without cables or plugs.

💡 Built-in LED lighting • 🌱 Hydroponic cultivation • 🏺 Spherical glass jar • 🌿 Tropical graphic foliage • 🐾 Non-toxic • 📏 H10 cm | Jar Ø12 cm
The Calathea Samoa LED hydroponic is a living and luminous plant that combines the tropical graphic foliage of the Calathea with the contemporary design of water cultivation. Grown without soil in a transparent spherical glass jar resting on a natural wood base with built-in LED, it illuminates its roots from below with a soothing golden light.
Its dark green foliage with pronounced silver veins and a characteristic burgundy-brown underside creates an immediately striking graphic composition. It fits perfectly in both small spaces and original gift arrangements.
Light & placement
The Calathea prefers soft, stable light — this is the main condition to maintain the intensity of its leaf patterns. Too much direct light fades the veins; too little slows growth. Our guide on light and humidity for indoor plants explains how to find this balance.
- Light: bright indirect or light partial shade — protected from direct sunlight.
- Locations: bedside table, desk, shelf in a bright room, bright bathroom.
- Temperature: 18 to 26 °C, away from cold drafts and direct heat sources.
The LED on the base is purely decorative — it creates a very soft golden ambiance in the evening but does not replace the natural light needed for the Calathea’s photosynthesis.
Watering & care
Hydroponic cultivation eliminates common watering mistakes. The Calathea, often delicate in soil, adapts particularly well to this growing method which ensures constant root moisture — ideal for never overwatering again.
- Water level: check every two weeks and top up if needed — roots should remain partially submerged.
- Water renewal: completely change the water every 2 to 3 weeks to avoid deposits and keep the jar clear.
- Fertilizer: a few drops of diluted hydroponic fertilizer every six to eight weeks in spring and summer are sufficient.
- Jar maintenance: clean the glass with clear water to maintain transparency and the LED’s luminous effect.
Use filtered or low-lime water — Calathea is sensitive to dissolved minerals that can stain leaves and cloud the glass, reducing the decorative effect.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
The Samoa LED jar is part of the jars and bottles collection and stands out for the graphic richness of its foliage — silver veins on dark green background, burgundy underside — which pairs especially well with plants with solid or monochrome leaves.
- For a bright trio arrangement, combine the Calathea Samoa LED with the Clusia Samoa LED and the Calathea Insignis in Kingston vase — three illuminated jars with distinct tropical foliage create a very graphic plant ensemble on a shelf or sideboard.
- On a bedside table, the Samoa LED is a great alternative to a classic night light — the LED light filtered through the spherical glass and golden roots creates a soothing atmosphere perfect for a sleeping area.
- For a texture contrast, place it alongside a Nephrolepis Green Lady — the airy fineness of the fern fronds contrasts with the bold graphic and broad surfaces of the Calathea’s foliage.
- As a ready-to-gift present, the combination of a living plant with graphic foliage, glass jar, and golden LED forms a complete and immediately decorative set — perfect to give for all occasions without any extra accessories.
Verdeia Tips
- Turn off the LED during the day to extend battery life: the Calathea does not need the LED for photosynthesis — reserve the lighting for the evening for maximum decorative effect and longer battery life.
- Gently wipe the leaves once a month: a soft, slightly damp cloth is enough to revive the shine of the silver veins and remove dust that dulls the graphic contrast of the foliage.
- Fully renew the water rather than topping it up: the spherical shape of the jar concentrates mineral deposits at the bottom — a full renewal every 2 to 3 weeks keeps the water perfectly clear and highlights the LED light.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
