  • Light:

    • Thrives in bright, indirect light.

    • Direct sunlight can fade the leaf patterns or cause scorching.

    Water:

    • Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

    • Use rainwater or filtered water where possible, as Calatheas are sensitive to chemicals in tap water.

    Soil:

    • Prefers a rich, well-draining potting mix that retains moisture (coco coir/peat with perlite and bark).

    • Ensure pot has proper drainage.

    Feeding:

    • Apply a balanced water-soluble fertilizer lightly every 4 weeks.

    • Do not overfertilize, as it can cause browning on leaf edges.

    Pruning:

    • Remove yellow or damaged leaves at the base to keep the plant looking fresh.

    General Tips:

    • Grows well in warm indoor conditions with steady humidity.

    • Rotate occasionally to encourage even growth.

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