Grow Your Own Beautiful Calathea Plants!
Instructions:
1. Select a Suitable Pot: Choose a pot with drainage holes at the bottom to prevent waterlogging. Calatheas prefer well-draining soil.
2. Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for tropical plants. You can also mix peat moss, perlite, and compost for a suitable growing medium.
3. Planting: Plant your Calathea in the pot, ensuring the root ball is covered with soil but not buried too deeply. Gently press the soil around the plant to secure it.
4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your Calathea when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
5. Humidity: Calatheas thrive in high humidity environments. You can increase humidity by placing a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles near the plant or using a humidifier.
6. Light Requirements: Calatheas prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves. Place your plant near a window with filtered sunlight or use sheer curtains to diffuse sunlight.
7. Temperature: Calatheas prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect them from drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.
8. Fertilization: Fertilize your Calathea plant sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.
9. Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.
