All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
The **Calathea Musaica 'Network'** is a captivating member of the Marantaceae family, renowned for their incredible foliage. Originating from the humid understories of the Brazilian rainforests, this Calathea is admired not for flowers, but for the breathtaking artistry of its leaves. The name 'Musaica' (mosaic) perfectly describes its intricate, tile-like pattern, while 'Network' highlights its dense venation. Like all Calatheas, it exhibits nyctinasty – the fascinating behavior of folding its leaves at night, a natural rhythm of the jungle brought into your home. Its botanical name is often referred to as **Goeffroea striata** or **Calathea musaica 'Network'**.
How to Keep It Happy
Calatheas love consistent care, and your 'Network' will reward you with spectacular growth. Here are some tips to help it thrive:
- **Light:** Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves and fade its patterns. A spot near an east or north-facing window is ideal.
- **Water:** Keep the soil consistently moist, but never soggy. Water when the top inch of soil starts to feel dry. Use distilled, filtered, or rainwater, as they can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water.
- **Humidity:** This is key! Calatheas are humidity lovers. Aim for high humidity (60%+). Misting regularly, using a pebble tray, or placing it near a humidifier will keep its leaves lush and prevent crispy edges.
- **Soil:** Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix. An aroid mix with bark, perlite, and peat works wonders.
- **Temperature:** Keep it warm, between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
- **Feeding:** Feed every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
What to Do About Pests
Calatheas can be susceptible to certain pests, especially if humidity levels are low. Regular inspection will help keep your plant healthy.

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!
