About Calathea:

Calathea exploded in popularity in the last few years, and with such beautiful foliage its easy to fall in love with Calathea.

Caring for Calathea:

 Light Needs

• Bright but indirect light is best, as direct sun may burn those beautiful leaves.

  Watering

• Calathea have a reputation of diva-like behaviour, but any plant tantrums (plant-trums!) can be avoided with careful watering!
  
  Water regularly, to keep the soil evenly moist, but never soggy. Calathea are often sensitive to minerals found in regular tap water, so to prevent the edges from browning, it helps to leave a full watering can out overnight, to allow those minerals to evaporate

 Feeding

• Fertilize regularly during the spring and summer once or twice a month with an all purpose fertilizer.
