Easy Care Plants

Pet Friendly Plants

Calathea Network is a beautiful variety of Calathea houseplants known for its stunning foliage. The leaves are green with a network of dark green stripes which looks like a network, hence the name.

One of the most striking features of the Calathea Network also known as a prayer plant is its ability to move its leaves in response to changes in light and temperature. The leaves will fold up and down as the light changes throughout the day like praying hands.

Calathea Network has air-purifying qualities, making it a healthy choice for any home workspace environment. This plant has been known to remove harmful toxins from the air, helping to create a cleaner, fresher space. This beautiful plant is also pet friendly!

Calathea Network Care Guide

Light:
Calathea Network 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 Network 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 18-24°C. Keep it away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix. Highland Moss’s 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.

With proper care, your Calathea Network will thrive and showcase its beautiful foliage!

How should I water my Calathea Network to maintain its health?: Water this plant when 50-75% of the soil has dried out, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Use room temperature, filtered or distilled water to prevent mineral build-up that can cause leaf spotting.
Can I place my Calathea Network in my bathroom?: Yes, bathrooms typically have higher humidity which this plant loves. Just ensure the bathroom also receives bright, indirect light and maintains a consistent temperature between 18-24°C.

☀️ Light

The Calathea Network flourishes in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can cause the leaves to scorch and develop unsightly brown patches. A spot with filtered light, such as near a north-facing window, is ideal.

??▫️ (Medium)
It’s important to water your Calathea Network when 50-75% of the top soil has dried out. Aim to keep the soil moist, but be cautious of overwatering which can lead to root rot. Using room temperature, filtered, or distilled water can prevent mineral spots on the leaves.

I really enjoyed the workshop which was absolutely perfect – I learned so much and the information given was spot on step by step. I know that I will be visiting the shop often given my already love of plants – particularly house plants and of course to say hello ‍♂️ and see Noel and Angus – they are lovely and an asset to your business. Thank you all so much.
