Calathea 'Vittata' Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

Calathea 'Vittata' thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf fading or scorch its delicate foliage. It adapts well to lower light conditions, making it perfect for shaded indoor areas.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, using filtered or distilled water to prevent leaf browning caused by tap water chemicals. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

This tropical plant prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C) and thrives in high humidity. Regular misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier will help maintain the ideal moisture levels for healthy growth.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed your Calathea 'Vittata' with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent damage to its roots and delicate leaves.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot your Calathea 'Vittata' every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and promote healthy growth. Choose a well-draining potting mix and trim any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking lush and vibrant.
