The Story Behind This Plant
Calathea Leopordina originates from the tropical rainforests of South America, where it thrives under the canopy in shaded, humid environments, which explains why it adapts so well to lower-light indoor spaces.

- Light: Thrives in medium to low indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist. Check regularly and increase humidity if leaves start to curl.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; a pebble tray or humidifier helps in dry conditions.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix.
