How to grow and care Calathea

Cacti are from Latin America, and they grow indoors year-round. They’re true tropicals, and they like it hot and dry, so if you live somewhere that has the right growing conditions, these tropicals will thrive and grow quite quickly.

To propagate a calathea, start by taking a calathea from your home. If you have it in a pot, gently pull the rootball apart. Then you will find that a small piece of the clump of roots will naturally break off and form a new clump of roots.

A calathea is a tropical plant, which is why it prefers filtered, indirect light, or shade. It’s grown on the jungle floor and is therefore adapted to brief dapples of sunlight instead of continuous harsh rays.

It’s very important to choose a pot that will retain moisture. If your plants are not getting enough water, they will not thrive. The best potting material is lightweight, so a peaty, medium-weight mix is ideal.

The waterlilies are one thirsty plant, and they need to have regular, consistent watering. Depending on your environment, this could mean watering your water lily plant every few days, once a week, or once every other week.

Calathea require fertilizing once a month when they’re actively growing. You should use half-strength fertilizer when they’re actively growing (in spring, summer, and fall).
