How to Care for Your Calathea Lancifolia

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.
• Tolerates medium light, though growth may be slower.
• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade their beautiful patterns.

💧 Water

• Keep the soil consistently slightly moist, but never soggy.
• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels slightly dry.
• Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater whenever possible, as Calatheas are sensitive to minerals found in tap water.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal temperature: 18–30°C.
• Keep away from cold drafts, direct air conditioning, and sudden temperature changes.

💦 Humidity

Calathea Lancifolia loves high humidity.

For healthy, vibrant foliage:

• Mist the leaves regularly.
• Use a humidifier if available.
• Keep the plant away from dry AC vents.

🌱 Fertilizer

• Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.
• Reduce feeding during autumn and winter.
• Avoid excessive fertilizer, as it can lead to brown leaf tips.
