Plant Faqs

How much light does a Calathea 'Rosy' need? It prefers bright, indirect light; direct sun can damage the foliage. Why are the leaf edges turning brown? Brown edges are usually a sign of low humidity; try using a humidifier or pebble tray. Is this plant safe for pets? Calathea species are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. How often should I water my Calathea? Keep the soil lightly moist and water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch.
