Caring Tips:-
- Light: Provide filtered, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Bright, indirect light is ideal.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Calatheas prefer high humidity, so mist the leaves regularly or place the plant on a humidity tray.
- Soil: Use well-draining, peat-based soil to retain moisture. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
- Fertilization: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
- Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves regularly. Pruning helps maintain the plant’s shape and appearance.
