How to Care for Your Calathea Lancifolia
☀️ Light
- Prefers bright, indirect light.
- Can tolerate medium light, but growth may be slower.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade their beautiful patterns.
💧 Water
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels slightly dry.
- Use filtered or distilled water whenever possible, as Calatheas are sensitive to minerals found in tap water.
🌡️ Temperature
- Ideal temperature: 18–30°C.
- Protect from direct air conditioning, cold drafts, and sudden temperature changes.
- Avoid temperatures below 16°C.
💦 Humidity
- Prefers high humidity.
- For indoor conditions in Dubai:
- Mist the leaves regularly.
- Use a humidifier if available.
- Keep the plant away from direct AC airflow.
🌱 Fertilizer
- Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.
- Avoid excessive fertilizing, as it may cause leaf tip browning.
