Calathea Assorted

A beautiful tropical plant known for its striking, decorative foliage, Calatheas come in a wide variety of patterns, colours, and leaf shapes. From elegant green markings to rich purple or burgundy undersides, their vibrant foliage adds a lush, tropical feel to any space.

💧 Watering
Keep the soil evenly and lightly moist, while avoiding soggy conditions. Water when the surface of the soil begins to dry, and try not to let the plant dry out completely. Calatheas can be sensitive to water quality, so filtered, distilled, or rainwater may help prevent leaf-edge browning.

☀️ Light
Thrives in bright to medium indirect light. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can fade the foliage or cause leaf scorching. Lower light may be tolerated, though growth and colouring can be less vigorous.

🌿 Care Level
Moderate — Calatheas generally prefer consistent moisture, warmth, and moderate to higher humidity. They may be sensitive to sudden changes in temperature, light, or watering.

🐾 Pet Friendly
Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making Calatheas a great choice for pet-friendly homes.

⚠️ Things to Watch For

• Brown or crispy leaf edges may be caused by dry air, inconsistent watering, or sensitivity to water quality

• Avoid allowing the soil to become completely dry for extended periods

• Protect from cold drafts, extreme temperatures, and sudden environmental changes

• Keep an eye out for spider mites and other common houseplant pests, particularly in dry conditions

• Some leaf movement, curling, or changes in appearance throughout the day can be normal for Calatheas

🪴 Repotting
Repot when the plant becomes root-bound or the soil has broken down, typically every 1–2 years. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one and make sure it has good drainage.

🌱 Soil
Use a loose, airy, well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. A combination of indoor potting soil with perlite and coco coir or fine orchid bark works well.
