How to take care of Calathea Misto

Light: Medium - Bright

Provide filtered or low light conditions to mimic its natural habitat, protecting its delicate foliage from direct sunlight.

Sun: Indirect

Place your Calathea Misto in bright, indirect sunlight to avoid leaf burn and maintain its vibrant colors.

Water: When half dry

Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, by watering when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

Humidity: High

Maintain high humidity levels by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby to prevent browning of leaf edges.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Calathea Misto is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with cats or dogs. However, it's essential to prevent pets from chewing or ingesting the plant's leaves, as they may still cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort if consumed in large quantities.
