  4. Humidity Regulation: This plant thrives in high humidity, which can help maintain a comfortable indoor environment, particularly in dry or air-conditioned spaces.

Plant Care Instructions

  1. Light: Place your Calathea Zebrina in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so it’s best to keep it in a shaded spot.
  2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and use distilled or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup.
  3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with organic matter. A mix designed for houseplants or tropical plants works well.
  4. Humidity: High humidity is essential for this plant. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier to maintain moisture levels.
  5. Temperature: The Calathea Zebrina prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and direct heat sources.
  6. Fertilizing: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Common Problems and Solutions

  1. Yellowing Leaves: This can be a sign of overwatering or underwatering. Adjust your watering schedule and ensure proper drainage.
  2. Brown Leaf Edges: Low humidity or fluoride in tap water can cause the leaf edges to turn brown. Increase humidity levels and use distilled water for best results.
  3. Pests: Watch out for spider mites and mealybugs. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap and regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth.
  4. Leaf Curling: This may indicate low humidity or insufficient watering. Increase humidity and ensure the soil stays consistently moist.
