We can’t get enough of Calatheas! These beauties have the most amazing leaves, especially our friend the Pinstripe Calathea.
Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light to medium light, but no direct sun.
Water: Stick your finger about an inch or two into the soil, if the soil feels dry--it’s time to water. If the soil feels wet, don’t water. Keep the soil moist, but not wet, as it is prone to rot.
Humidity: Requires moist air. Set pot on a tray of wet pebbles or use a room humidifier. Mist leaves frequently with room-temperature water.
Caution: Keep away from cold drafts.
