SUN

The Calathea Rosy can tolerate low to bright and indirect light levels. They’ll enjoy placement at the interior of bright rooms or near north + east-facing windows, away from direct light. Their leaf pattern will grow bolder under brighter light and may fade/bleach under direct sunlight.

WATER

Keep soil consistently moist but not wet. Water well when the topsoil has dried 1-2 inches and use room temperature, non-tap water. Reduce frequency during fall and winter.

AIR

Mimic a tropical environment with temperatures between 65º-75º and a high moisture content. Most indoor air will require extra humidity in order for the Calathea to thrive. Provide a regular boost of humidity by:

• Adding a humidifier nearby
• Creating a pebble tray that lives underneath the pot
• Misting the leaves 2-4x per week with non-tap water
• Placement in a bathroom or kitchen, if lighting is suitable
