Plant Care Guide
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate variegated leaves and fade the yellow marbling.
Water: Keep soil consistently lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel slightly dry. Use filtered or distilled water when possible, as Calatheas can be sensitive to minerals and chlorine.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity levels above 60%. Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or near a humidifier. Dry air may cause brown leaf edges.
Temperature: Best kept between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil: Use a well-draining indoor potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix with peat, coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced diluted houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Pet Friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
Growth Habit: A compact tropical prayer plant with uniquely marbled cream, yellow, and green foliage. Leaves may gently move throughout the day and night.
Common Issues:
- Brown edges: low humidity or tap water sensitivity
- Curling leaves: underwatering or dry air
- Yellowing leaves: overwatering or poor drainage
- Fading variegation: insufficient light
