Care Tips:

*1. Light:

Loves bright, filtered light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves.Grows well in indoor spaces with east or north-facing windows.

*2. Watering:

Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy.Use filtered or rainwater—Calatheas are sensitive to salts and chemicals in tap water.Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

*3. Humidity:

Thrives in high humidity (50–70% or more).Use a humidifier, mist the plant daily, or place it near a humidity tray.Dry air leads to crispy leaf edges.

*4. Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.A mix of peat, perlite, and coco coir works well.

*5. Temperature:

Keep in a warm space: 18–27°C (65–80°F)Avoid cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, or heaters.

*6. Fertilizer:

Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.Skip feeding during fall and winter.

*7. Pruning & Cleaning:

Remove yellow or damaged leaves at the base.Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free.
