Care Instructions
Calathea LOVES humidity, so give her an environment as nice and humid as possible. Resting in a tray of clay pebbles (we sell those too), regular misting and even a humidifier will help.
The soil should always be moist, water a little bit and frequently, and don’t totally soak her or leave her sitting in a pool of water.
Plant Pro Tip
You will get some crisp edges from time to time and this is to be expected. If you do get crispy edges bump up the humidity.
Calathea is not toxic to pets or humans
- How often should I water my Calathea Rufibarba?
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water little and often to maintain moisture without soaking the plant.
- Is the Calathea Rufibarba suitable for bathrooms?
- Absolutely! This plant thrives in humid environments, making it a perfect choice for bathrooms where it can benefit from the naturally higher humidity levels.
- What should I do if the leaves of my plant start getting crispy edges?
- If the leaves develop crispy edges, this is typically a sign of low humidity. Try increasing humidity around the plant through misting or using a humidifier.
