Calathea picturata Argentea Care & Info Guide

Horty Hints

Quit the curl! Leaves curling on your plant is a sign the plant is thirsty. Rehydrate and revitalize with some distilled water.

A mist a day will go a long way! This needy plant likes a lot of attention, especially when it comes to humidity.

A family resemblance! Like many other calathea, this one also likes warm, humid environments. Try to keep away from cold windows, draughts or locations with lots of passing traffic. Brown tips are common.

Light

Calathea need plenty of diffused, bright light. Direct light will burn the leaves or cause them to fade. Can tolerate some degree of shade, but variegation may fade. Experiment in your home to find the perfect spot for your plant.

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.
