Calathea Plant Care Tips and Tricks 

 

Note on Appearance

While photographs represent the typical appearance of Calathea Fusion White, individual plants may vary slightly in size, leaf pattern intensity, and overall shape, contributing to each plant's unique character.

Sun: Indirect

Position your plants away from direct sunlight, preferring filtered light through a sheer curtain, especially during early morning or late evening. Optimal locations receive bright, indirect light throughout the day, ensuring healthy growth without sun exposure.

Light: Medium - Bright

They flourish in bright light but can also tolerate medium light conditions well. An ideal spot with medium light in your home would be situated midway between a room's center and a standard-sized window. They can be positioned anywhere within this range. Keep in mind that plant growth is influenced by the amount of light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Water your plant when the top half of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically occurring every week in a typical home setting. However, factors like season, environment, and light exposure can influence watering frequency. To avoid overwatering, it's best to err on the side of underwatering and check the soil moisture before watering again.

Humidity: High

For optimal growth, Calathea Fusion White plants thrive in high humidity environments. Provide daily misting or as frequently as possible to mimic their natural habitat. Alternatively, placing them near a humidifier can help maintain the ideal moisture levels. While they can tolerate lower humidity levels, insufficient moisture may result in dry, crunchy, or yellow-edged leaves.

Pet Friendly: Yes

While this plant is generally safe to have around your home, it's advisable to prevent your pets from nibbling on it. It's always best to exercise caution and keep your furry friends away from any houseplants to ensure their safety.

Pro Tip

While Calatheas are often referred to as the divas of the plant world, their beauty is unparalleled once they find their ideal environment. Each leaf boasts a unique pattern, showcasing bold and stunning colors across the variety of species. To ensure their thriving, maintain a highly humid environment with ample bright, indirect light (avoiding direct sun), and water exclusively with distilled or rainwater. Once these conditions are met, prepare to be captivated as you spend hours admiring your exquisite new plant!

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
