🌞 Light Requirements

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. However, it adapts well to medium light indoors. Avoid direct sunlight, since it may fade or scorch its delicate pink variegation.

💧 Watering

Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. For example, water when the top 2 cm feels dry to the touch. Moreover, use filtered or rainwater whenever possible, as Calatheas are sensitive to chemicals in tap water.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Calathea Roseopicta Crimson prefers warm, humid conditions between 18–27°C. Furthermore, higher humidity helps preserve its bold colors and prevents browning edges. Mist the leaves, place on a pebble tray, or use a humidifier for best results.

🌱 Soil & Fertilizer

Plant in a well-draining, organic-rich mix with cocopeat, compost, and perlite. Additionally, feed monthly during spring and summer with a mild liquid fertilizer to support vibrant foliage.

✂️ Care & Maintenance

Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to maintain their shine. In addition, trim away any damaged or faded leaves to encourage healthy new growth. Repot every 2 years to refresh the soil and give the roots more room.

⚠️ Pet Safety

✅ Safe for pets – non-toxic to cats and dogs.
