Calathea Ornata Care Guide

Light:
Place your Calathea ornata in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as harsh rays can damage the delicate leaves.

Water:
Keep the potting mix slightly moist but avoid overwatering. Filtered or rainwater is recommended where possible, as these plants can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water.

Humidity:
High humidity helps maintain healthy foliage. A humidifier, bathroom placement, or grouping plants together can improve moisture levels.

Temperature:
This tropical plant prefers temperatures between 18°C and 26°C. Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Soil:
Use a rich, well-draining indoor plant mix that holds moisture while allowing excess water to escape.
