Watering
- Calathea like to have moist soil or planting substances, but not soggy.
- They do not want lots of water, as it can drown them. When you water a Calathea plant, do not water it so much that the plant ends up sitting in standing water.
Light
- Calathea plants need bright, but not direct, sunlight to grow. This is because they grow on the floor of jungles and forests where they get limited light through the tops of the trees. In fact, direct sunlight will burn the leaves of a Calathea plant and cause it to lose its vibrant colors.
Soil
- Calathea orbifolia thrives when growing in fertile potting soil that has excellent drainage. The soil should retain some moisture, but never become soggy. The best ingredients for a calathea potting mix are two parts potting soil, one-part perlite, and one-part water hyacinth dry mix. Organic matter holds moisture, and perlite provide drainage.
One advantage of using water hyacinth dry mix-based soil is that it contains essential nutrients for calatheas to thrive. This type of organically-rich growing medium is better than using chemical fertilizers.
