A Plant That Moves with the Day
One of the most fascinating features of Calathea 'Medallion' is its nyctinastic movement—its leaves open during the day and gently fold up at night, mimicking a natural rhythm.

Calathea 'Medallion' Care Guide
Light
I like a lot of diffused light, but direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose my precious markings. Because I grow on the canopy floor, I can tolerate shade, but I grow much better with indirect light.
Water
I like my soil to be moist, but I am also susceptible to root rot, so don't let me sit in water. Think little and often as a watering policy.
Temperature
I prefer warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-23°C but can cope with as low as 15°C. Please keep me away from draughts!
Feeding
Apply a weak dose of a nitrogen rich foliage fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
Grooming
Wipe my leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust, so that I can breathe properly.
Care
High humidity levels are a must. Stand on a wet pebble tray to improve humidity and mist frequently. Pop it in the shower from time to time to give an extra boost.
