Calathea lancifolia “Rattle Snake” 4” pot

CARE

• Does well with low to bright indirect light. A small amount of gentle morning sun is beneficial, but avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause the foliage to fade, curl, or scorch.
• Keep the soil lightly moist, but never waterlogged. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. If possible, use room-temperature distilled, filtered, or rainwater, as Calatheas can be sensitive to the minerals commonly found in tap water.Prefers moderate to high humidity. Higher humidity encourages lush growth and helps prevent crispy leaf edges.
• Keep in a warm environment above 18°C (65°F). Protect from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature fluctuations.
