4" Calathea Roseopicta Green
Caring for a Calathea Roseopicta (commonly known as Rose Painted Calathea) involves a few straightforward steps. Here’s a simple, numbered guide: 1. Light Requirements - Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves. 2. Watering - Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. - Use distilled or rainwater if possible, as Calathea Roseopicta is sensitive to chemicals in tap water. 3. Humidity - Maintain high humidity levels around 60-70%. Use a humidifier, place the plant on a humidity tray, or mist the leaves regularly. 4. Temperature - Keep temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. 5. Soil - Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well. 6. Fertilizing - Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. - Do not fertilize in fall and
