Plant Care
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light. Avoid direct sun which can fade or scorch its patterned leaves.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Use rain, distilled, or filtered water as Calatheas are sensitive to tap water.
Temperature: Loves 18–27°C. Keep above 15°C and away from draughts.
Potting: Grows best in our Thirst Trap mix — moisture-retentive yet airy for healthy roots.
Hot tips: Boost humidity with a pebble tray or humidifier (no misting needed). Trim any tired leaves to keep it looking fresh.
Pet Safe: ✅ Yes – non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs.
