How to Care for Your Calathea Sanderiana
☀️ Light
-
Prefers bright, indirect light.
- Can tolerate medium light, though growth may be slower.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade their vibrant markings.
💧 Water
-
Keep the soil consistently slightly moist, but never waterlogged.
-
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 commonly found in tap water.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Ideal temperature: 18–30°C.
- Protect from cold drafts, direct air conditioning, and sudden temperature changes.
💦 Humidity
Calathea Sanderiana thrives in high humidity.
For healthy, vibrant foliage:
- Mist the leaves regularly.
- Use a humidifier if available.
- Keep the plant away from dry AC airflow.
🌱 Fertilizer
-
Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.
- Reduce feeding during autumn and winter.
- Avoid over-fertilizing, as excess nutrients may cause brown leaf tips.
