How to Grow and Care for Eternal flame

Eternal flame, also known as Tassle flower, Candle flower, Orange flame plant, Fire Star Orchid, Calathea crocata, Brazilian Calathea

Eternal flame thrives in a humid environment and requires well-draining soil. It's essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot. Special care should be given to lighting; eternal flame prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure that can scorch the leaves. Balancing these needs may take some attention, but doesn't require expert-level care.

Eternal flame 'Tassmania'

Eternal flame 'Tassmania' has been hybridized so that it is easier to grow as a potted plant since the parent Eternal flame plant is notoriously difficult to maintain. Named Eternal flame 'Tassmania' after an oddly misspelled version of the Australian state Tasmania, this brightly flowered plant offers year-round interest with leaves which are green on top and purple underneath, making it a highly decorative indoor plant.
