Care Instructions

This Calathea prefers consistently moist soil (but not waterlogged) and high humidity. Use filtered or distilled water as it is sensitive to chemicals in tap water. Place in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sun which can scorch the leaves. Average room temperatures are suitable. Fertilize lightly during the growing season.

Medicinal Value
