Calathea Fasciata

Light:

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Keep out of direct sunlight, which can scorch or fade the leaf patterns.

Water:

• Maintain evenly moist soil without waterlogging.

• Best watered with rainwater or filtered water, as Calatheas are sensitive to chlorine and salts.

Soil:

• Use a rich, well-draining mix that holds some moisture (peat/coco coir, perlite, and bark).

• Ensure pot has good drainage holes.

Feeding:

• Apply a balanced water-soluble fertilizer every 4 weeks in light amounts.

• Overfertilizing may cause brown tips or leaf edge damage.

Pruning:

• Remove yellow, brown, or damaged leaves at the base to encourage fresh growth.

General Tips:

• Thrives in warm indoor environments with steady humidity.

• Rotate the plant occasionally for even growth.

• Mist leaves lightly or place near a humidity source if the air is very dry.
