Plant Care
Calathea's originate from the amazon and are found on the forest floor. Place your plant in an area where it can receive filtered or indirect light to ensure the leaves of the Calathea don't burn. Allow the soil to dry out half-way between watering's. When repotting we recommend using our All Purpose soil.
