Calathea roseopicta Care & Info Guide

Horty Hints

Too wet, pet? The yellowing of lower leaves forms part of the natural aging process of your plant, however, if new growth is turning yellow, the plant is overwatered. Reduce watering immediately.

A tip for leaf tips! Some brown leaf tips are common but low humidity will make things worse. Try daily misting or moving location to a bathroom or kitchen.

Going round the twist! If you have noticed that the leaves on your Calathea have started to curl, your plant needs more water. Try to keep the plant evenly moist at all times, but not soggy.

Light

Calathea need plenty of diffused light. Direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose their markings. They can tolerate some degree of shade, but the more indirect light, the finer the foliage.

Watering

Calathea must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think ‘little and often’ as a watering policy.

Temperature

Prefers warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-23°C, but can cope with as low as 15°C. Avoid draughts and ensure the plant has reasonable ventilation.

Humidity

High humidity levels are a must. Mist frequently to improve humidity conditions and pop it near the shower from time-to-time to give it an extra boost.
