🌿 Growth Habit:

Calathea Orbifolia grows in an upright, clumping habit, producing large, rounded leaves from individual stems emerging at the base. It thrives in bright, indirect light, consistently moist but well-draining soil, and moderate to high humidity. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate foliage and cause the distinctive leaf patterns to fade. Consistent moisture and stable growing conditions help maintain healthy, attractive leaves.

🧾 Please Note:

Calathea Orbifolia can be sensitive to changes in humidity, watering routines, and water quality. Brown leaf edges may develop when humidity is too low or when the plant experiences mineral buildup from hard water. Filtered, distilled, or rainwater is often preferred. Some leaf movement, curling, or occasional older-leaf yellowing can occur naturally as the plant grows and adjusts to its environment.
