Water thoroughly during the growing season then naturally reduce during winter. Good drainage is important.

Indirect sunlight is best suited for this species. Direct sun will damage the leaves and low light will slow growth, so a bit of balance is required.

Feed only during the growing season from April – October with a diluted liquid feed once every 2 weeks.

Ideal temperatures required should be between 60ºF – 75ºF (15.5-24ºC). Avoid sudden drops that will affect growth and cold drafts.

Calatheas enjoys humidity in their natural climate. If you can try and raise the levels even if you just mist the plant or seat the pot on a tray of pebbles with water inside. When the humidity is low from dry air you may notice leaf tips browning.
