Calathea Care

Ideal temperature range?

Calatheas thrive between 65°F and 80°F, avoiding cold drafts.

How much sunlight needed?

Bright, indirect light is best; direct sun can scorch leaves.

What humidity level is best?

High humidity around 60% or more keeps leaves vibrant and prevents browning.

Preferred soil type?

Use well-draining, peat-based soil to retain moisture without waterlogging.

How often to water?

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, keeping soil moist but not soggy.

Any special care tips?

Avoid cold drafts, wipe leaves gently, and mist regularly to maintain humidity.
