Keep your Calathea Musaica healthy and vibrant with these easy care guidelines:
- Light: Prefers low to moderate indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn and fading of the intricate patterns.
- Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Use room-temperature water, as cold water can shock the plant. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
- Temperature and Humidity: Ideal temperature range is 65-80°F (18-27°C). Calatheas prefer high humidity, so consider using a humidifier or placing the plant in a bathroom for extra moisture.
- Soil and Fertilization: Use a well-draining potting mix designed for tropical plants. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a diluted balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
- Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged leaves to maintain a neat appearance. Remove yellowing leaves at the base.
- Pests: Watch for common indoor plant pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.
By following these simple care tips, your Calathea Musaica will thrive, adding a unique and sophisticated touch to your indoor garden or home decor.
