Your Calathea Care Cheat Sheet:
- Light: Think bright, indirect light – like a shady spot on a tropical beach.
- Humidity: Calatheas crave humidity, so mist them regularly or create a humid microclimate with a pebble tray or humidifier.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to soggy roots.
- Temperature: Aim for a comfortable range of 65-85°F (18-29°C).
Troubleshooting Made Easy:
- Brown Tips: Crank up the humidity! Dry air is often the culprit.
- Yellow Leaves: Time to cut back on watering. Overwatering can stress the plant.
- Uninvited Guests: Keep an eye out for pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Early detection and treatment are key.
