Calathea picturata Crimson Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Living on the edge! Crisping up at the edges of leaves is a watering issue not humidity. This plant is Sensitive to chlorine in tap water, so allow it to stand overnight to diffuse before use, and maintain an even moist soil.
A tip for leaf tips! Brown leaf tips are a sign of your plant not receiving enough humidity. Try daily misting or moving to a new location, such as a bathroom or kitchen.
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Do not use leaf shine as this will damage the foliage. Brown tips may occur.
Light
As with most variegated plants, Calathea need plenty of diffused light. Direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose their markings. They can tolerate some degree of shade, but the more indirect light, the finer the foliage.
Watering
Calathea must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think ‘little and often’ as a watering policy.
Temperature
Prefers warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-23°C, but can cope with as low as 15°C. Avoid draughts and ensure the plant has reasonable ventilation.
Humidity
High humidity levels are a must. Mist frequently to improve humidity conditions and pop it near the shower from time-to-time to give it an extra boost.
Feed
Apply a weak dose of a nitrogen-rich foliage fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
