Calathea orbifolia
Calathea orbifolia is a striking indoor plant known for its large, round leaves feature prominent silver-gray stripes that contrast beautifully against the dark green background, giving the plant a stunning visual appeal.
-
Light: Calathea orbifolia prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to fade or develop scorched patches. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a location where it can receive bright, indirect light throughout the day. In low light conditions, consider supplementing with artificial grow lights.
-
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically every 1-2 weeks depending on environmental conditions. Use room temperature water to avoid shocking the roots. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
-
Pruning: Remove any yellowing, damaged, or dead leaves regularly to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. You can also trim back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
-
Fertilization: Feed Calathea orbifolia with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in fall and winter when growth slows down.
