Baby Plant - Calathea Zebrina
Product Size
Pot diameter - 7cm
Position
Your Calathea will do best in medium to low indirect light. Never allow this plant to receive direct sunlight, the leaves will burn.
Watering
For best results, maintain a regular watering schedule and keep your Calathea moist, but not wet or soggy. This is not a drought-tolerant plant, but it is relatively forgiving if you forget to water it from time to time. Extended periods of dryness can result in brown leaf tips or edges.
Temperature
Your Calathea prefers average room temperature, from 60-80 degrees F. They will not tolerate temperatures below 55 degrees. They are also sensitive to cold drafts or blowing heat during the winter months, so keep them away from windows or heaters for best results.
Humidity
Like many tropical indoor plants, your Calathea prefers a spot with ample humidity. If leaf edges begin to curl or brown up, mist them with lukewarm water on a regular basis, or add a humidifier nearby. Your bathroom or kitchen are perfect spots for your Calathea because these areas tend to be more humid.
Fertiliser
For best results, use a general houseplant fertilizer every month during spring and summer. No fertilizer is necessary in the winter when plant growth naturally slows.
Pet-friendliness
Calathea are non-toxic and pet-friendly according to ASPCA.
