Description
Calathea White Fusion Care Guide
Light:
Calathea thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves, causing them to fade or develop brown patches.
Watering:
Water when 50-75% of the soil dries out. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use room temperature, filtered, or distilled water to avoid leaf spotting from mineral build-up.
Humidity:
Calathea loves high humidity, ideally 60% or above. You can mist the plant regularly or place it near a humidifier. Grouping plants together also helps raise humidity levels.
Temperature:
Maintain a temperature between 18-24ยฐC. Keep it away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix. Highland Mossโs premium Calathea & Maranta potting mix is ideal, as it provides the right balance of moisture retention and aeration.
Fertilizer:
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months.
Repotting:
Repot every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound, in a slightly larger pot with fresh soil.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Yellowing Leaves:
Caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the soil isn’t waterlogged and adjust your watering routine if needed. Make sure the pot has adequate drainage. - Crispy Leaf Edges or Brown Tips:
Usually a sign of low humidity or using water with too many minerals. Increase humidity levels and use filtered or distilled water. - Leaf Curling:
This can be due to underwatering, low humidity, or too much direct sunlight. Increase watering, boost humidity, or move the plant to a spot with indirect light. - Pale Leaves:
This might indicate too much light. Move the plant to a spot with filtered light and away from direct sun exposure. - Pests:
Calatheas can attract spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Regularly inspect the leaves and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
