All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, Calathea Vittata grows in the shaded understory, preferring warm, humid, and stable conditions, which is why it thrives indoors with bright, indirect light and steady humidity.
How to Keep It Happy
- Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal, like filtered daylight. Avoid direct sun, which will bleach the stripes.
- Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, not soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry.
- Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity; misting, a humidifier, or a pebble tray helps reduce browning.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix.
