Here's how to care for your Calathea:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1. Light:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calatheas prefer bright to medium, indirect light. Avoid direct sun exposure, as this can scorch the leaves. Filtered indirect light is ideal. You can place your plant near an east or west-facing window for gentle light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the soil consistently moist, but do not let the plant sit in water. Water when the top of the soil begins to dry, ensuring water drains from the bottom of the pot. Use room temperature water to avoid thermal shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3. Humidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calatheas love high humidity. To increase humidity around the plant, you can place a pebble tray with water under the pot, use a humidifier, or mist the leaves regularly with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4. Fertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilize with a diluted balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer), approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. Reduce fertilization in autumn and winter when growth is slower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5. Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the plant in an environment where the temperature remains constant, generally between 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F). Avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6. Repotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calatheas do not need to be repotted frequently. Only repot when the plant becomes root-bound in its pot, usually every 2 to 3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7. Common Problems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch out for pests such as mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. Treat them as soon as you spot them. Calatheas can also be sensitive to water fluctuations (too much lime) and overly cold temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FleurExcel Inc.","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":47027287654704,"sku":"","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/4658\/6672\/files\/a69be3d568cd261b3a87c47ca9e88a61.jpg?v=1698435583","url":"https:\/\/fleurexcel.com\/en\/products\/calathea-fasciata","provider":"FleurExcel Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
