Plant Care Guide
Light
Calathea Rosy plants prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. They thrive in filtered or dappled light conditions.
Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil feels dry. Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking the roots.
Level of Care
Easy! Just avoid direct sunlight and don't overwater.
Air Purifying
Calatheas remove toxins that can build up in indoor spaces. A general rule of thumb is 1 medium houseplant per 100 square feet of space effectively cleans the air we breathe.
Fertilizer
Feed your Calathea Rosy every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early autumn) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the winter months.
Temperature
Maintain a warm and consistent temperature between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) to ensure the well-being of your Calathea Rosy.
Soil
Plant your Calathea Rosy in a well-draining potting mix with good organic matter content. A mixture of peat-based soil with perlite or orchid bark is ideal.
Pruning & Propagation
Trim any yellow or damaged leaves as needed to encourage healthy growth and maintain its appearance.
Pet Friendly
Yes! Calatheas are non-toxic to dogs and cats.
