• Lighting: Lighting is an important thing to consider when caring for calathea because this ornamental plant is very sensitive to sunlight,If calathea is placed in an area that has a lot of light or is exposed to direct sunlight, the leaves of the calathea plant will not grow optimally.
  The leaves can actually change color, curl, and even dry up which can eventually die. Meanwhile, if you are in a poorly lit room, Calathea cannot photosynthesize properly
  
• Water: Calathea likes high humidity so watering can be done as much as 1-2 times a day according to plant conditions. Keep in mind that it should not be flooded causing the humidity of the media to be very high so that it can cause disease attacks that result in stem rot and even death
• How to care: Maintaining humidity and temperature in the environment around the plant is very important. This plant can grow with temperatures around 18 – 30° C and humidity 50 – 70% To increase the humidity in the room, can use a humidifier or by placing the pot on a tray filled with gravel and water. The gravel will prevent the pot from submerging in water, and the natural evaporation of the water will help keep the air around the plant moist. Use a pot size that matches the size of the plant. In order for plants to grow optimally, it is necessary to fertilize with slow release fertilizer every 4 – 5 months, Cut the leaves that are starting to turn yellow.
