Plant Care

• Light - Calathea plants prefer bright, indirect sunlight, but can handle low-light scenarios. Direct sunlight in the morning and afternoons is okay, as the light is less harsh.
• Water - Water your calathea roseopicta every 1-2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
• Humidity - Calathea roseopicta plants need a lot of humidity for better growth. You can provide some humidity by misting the leaves daily or standing on a tray of moist pebbles.
• Temperature - Keep your calathea roseopicta in a room with temperatures ranging from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid places where there are sudden temperature fluctuations.
• Fertilizer - You can fertilize your calathea roseopicta during the growing season as long as it's putting out new growth. A basic houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength should work well. You can also feed it with a high nitrogen fertilizer for three weeks in spring and summer. In fall and winter try to give the plant monthly feedings.
