Calathea Care Guide

Calatheas are loved for their bold patterns, rich colours, and unique leaf movements. They’re a little sensitive, but with the right care, they stay healthy and stunning.

Light

Place your Calathea in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun—it can fade or burn the leaves. Low light is okay, but indirect light keeps colours vibrant.

Watering

Keep the soil slightly moist, not soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry. Calatheas prefer filtered or room-temperature water, as tap water minerals may cause brown leaf edges.

Humidity

Calatheas love humidity. Aim for 50–60% or higher. A humidifier, pebble tray, or grouping plants together helps keep the air moist.

Temperature

Keep them in a warm spot between 18°C–26°C. Avoid cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, or air vents.

Soil & Feeding

Use a well-draining mix that holds moisture (peat-free houseplant mix works great). Feed monthly during growing season with a gentle liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

General Tips

• Wipe leaves occasionally to help them breathe
• Avoid letting water sit at the bottom of the pot
• Rotate the plant weekly to keep growth even

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why are the leaves on my Calathea turning brown at the edges?

This usually happens due to low humidity or hard tap water. Increase moisture around the plant and switch to filtered or distilled water if possible.

Q2: Should I mist my Calathea?

Light misting is fine, but humidity around the plant matters more. A humidifier or pebble tray works better than daily misting.

Q3: Why is my Calathea curling its leaves?

Leaf curling often signals underwatering, low humidity, or too much direct sun. Adjust watering and move the plant away from harsh light.

Q4: Are Calatheas safe for pets?

Yes! Calatheas are non-toxic to cats and dogs, making them a great choice for pet-friendly homes.

Q5: How often should I repot a Calathea?

Repot every 1–2 years, preferably in spring, when the roots fill out the current pot.
