About this deal

In taller planters they allow for the soil to be contained to an appropriate depth for the plant, without needing to fill the entire vessel with soil. This ensures the root system is surrounded in optimum moisture content rather than it draining to the bottom beyond the roots. Calathea beauty star will steal the show no matter where you place it in your home, thanks to its elegantly striped foliage. It has emerald green oblong leaves with feather-like stripes in iridescent white and pink on the upper side. Inspect for pests and diseases: Even if there aren’t any visible bugs, spray with insecticidal soap or horticultural oils like neem oil. It’s better to err on the safe side since most nurseries and greenhouses are sometimes infested with pests and diseases.

A few of the common culprits are: When the roots of your Calathea have grown too large to fit inside their pot, they might get congested and confined, preventing them from getting enough nutrients and water. Misting will not only boost humidity levels but can also deter spider mites. These common pests thrive in extremely dry. For best results, mist or spray directly above the leaves. When choosing a location for your Calathea roseopicta, there are a few factors to keep in mind. Its lighting needs mean it appreciates being placed near a window that doesn’t receive direct sun. Pour prendre soin de vos calathéas, il est important de leur fournir l’engrais approprié pendant leur période de croissance.

Pour traiter vos calathéas, vous devez utiliser un engrais liquide spécial plantes vertes. Lors de la période de croissance, il est recommandé d’appliquer l’engrais tous les quinze jours.Underfertilization. If you’ve never really fertilized and the plant has been in the same soil for a while, it might be struggling. Use some diluted general houseplant fertilizer about once a month during the growing season. It’s important that the container has ample drainage holes.

These stunners are absolutely beautiful and can add bold color and texture to any area of your home.

If the soil is quite wet, you’ll have to either water less or move the plant to a higher light location. Calatheas are notorious for being fussy. Ensure that you can provide them the humidity and light they need.Tip: If you’re watering correctly but still feel like your Calathea roseopicta is not doing well, it might be a good idea to switch to bottled water or to collect rainwater.

In this case you can add a liner on a small layer of pebbles to increase the size of the base. This will however raise the height of the plant slightly in the planter. Keep them evenly moist and very warm. Cover the pot and plant with a polythene bag until you see new growth.

There’s some basic tips to keep all calathea varieties looking their best and producing healthy growth.
