Calathea - Foliage types

Although common as houseplants the calatheas are a stunning group of plants. With bold leaf markings as well as the bonus of the purple underside they are a great choice for a shady room Site: Light shade in summer. Brighter in winter but keep out of direct sun, this will dull the colour of the leaves, and could be fatal! Temp: Keep warm minimum of 16°C / 60°F Water: Keep well watered in summer, Caltheas love high humidity mist when you can and keep the compost moist in the summer. Brown tips show that the humidity is too low. Feeding: Feed with a very weak solution when you water. Don't give it a strong feed every now and then. Tip: Do not repot too often and use a peat based compost.
