🌿🐝 PLANT TALK TUESDAY: CALATHEAS! 🐝🌿
If you love a plant with a little personality, meet the Calathea! 😍 Their gorgeous patterned leaves make them stand out—and many lift their leaves at night and lower them during the day!
They can be a little dramatic, but here’s how to keep them happy:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch those pretty leaves!
💧 Water: Keep soil lightly moist, never soggy. Use a pot with drainage.
🚰 Water choice: Distilled or rainwater can help prevent brown tips caused by minerals in tap water.
🌫️ Humidity: They love humid air! A humidifier can help when your home is dry.
🌡️ Temperature: Keep them cozy and away from cold drafts and air vents.
💚 Plant parent tip: Curling leaves or crispy edges can signal that your Calathea needs a little attention to watering or humidity.
