Calathea orbifolia 'Standard'

Care at a glance

Water

Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged; water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use distilled or filtered water to avoid leaf tip burn.

Light

Provide bright, indirect light; direct sunlight will scorch the delicate leaves. An east-facing window or a few feet from a south/west window is ideal.

Humidity

This plant requires high humidity, ideally above 60%.

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).

Soil

Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Fertilizer

Feed every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer.

Toxicity

Calathea orbifolia is non-toxic to pets and humans.

Propagation

Propagate by division during repotting, ensuring each section has roots and at least one leaf. Carefully separate the rhizomes and plant in fresh soil.
