An elegant choice to beautify your indoors, offices and meeting rooms. Calathea Mini plants do well in low light and are the best air purifying plant. Calathea Roseopicta, also known as Prayer Plant, has silvery green leaves with alternating stripes.

How to take care of Calathea Plants?

Light: Place your Calathea in such a place that receives low to bright indirect light. In fact, direct sunlight will burn the leaves and hence chances to lose its colours.

Watering: Like all other houseplants, Calathea prefers weekly watering using filtered or de-chlorinated water. If you are using chlorinated tap water, collect water in a bottle and leave it overnight to dissipate the chlorine. Being an herbaceous perennial plant, Calathea needs less frequent but deep watering encourages rooting more deeply and thus becomes better able to handle during vacations/holidays.

Potting Mixture: Calathea enjoys moist, well-drained soil

Propagation: You can divide the plant while re-potting if it has more than one plant

Fertiliser: Feed with general houseplant fertilizer, especially during the growing season

Toxicity: Calatheas are non-toxic and suitable for homes with children and pets.

Pruning: Calathea doesn’t need pruning; please remove brown or yellow coloured leaves.

What are the common issues found in Calathea Mini?

Yellowing leaves and burnt tips are due to your plant being scorched by direct sunlight or watered with tap water containing high levels of minerals.

Browning leaves or black spots on leaves indicate that the Calathea has been over watered. For this, let the soil dry before watering again.
