Care & tips for the Calathea Makoyana - 60cm

The Calathea is an incredibly easy houseplant. Give it a spot in bright indirect light and it'll soon be happy.

How much water does the Calathea Makoyana - 60cm need?

The potting soil of the Calathea Makoyana can stay slightly moist, but be careful not to give the plant too much water. We recommend checking before every watering whether the soil is still moist from last time. Is it? Then hold off on watering for a bit.

It's also a good idea to mist the leaves regularly with a plant sprayer. That keeps the humidity around the plant high.

How much light does the Calathea Makoyana - 60cm need?

The Calathea Makoyana originally comes from the tropics of South America, where it grows in the shade of large trees, especially in the Amazon region. That's why the plant doesn't cope well with too much (direct) sunlight and prefers a shady spot in the home. In a spot like that the leaves stay at their most beautiful and the plant is encouraged to grow new leaf patterns.

Is the Calathea Makoyana - 60cm toxic?

No, luckily the Calathea Makoyana is completely pet- and child-friendly!

Frequently asked questions about the Calathea

How often should I water my Calathea?

The Calathea likes constant humidity. Water the plant once or twice a week, depending on the temperature and humidity in your home. Make sure the soil does not become too dry between waterings.

Can the Calathea be placed in direct sunlight?

The Calathea does not like direct sunlight. This can burn the leaves. Place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light for best results. Even a spot with mostly shade is fine.

How often should I repot my Calathea?

Repot your Calathea every 1-2 years to give the roots enough room to grow. Choose a pot that is 2-3 cm larger than the previous one and use well-drained soil.

Why does my Calathea have yellow leaves?

Yellow leaves can be caused by too much water, insufficient light, or a lack of nutrients. Check your watering and the light conditions of the plant.

Can the Calathea be placed in a bedroom?

The Calathea thrives in a bedroom, especially because it purifies the air. Make sure the room gets regular light and that the humidity is high enough.

How do I prune Calathea?

Remove dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking neat. Prune carefully at the base of the leaves to avoid damaging healthy leaves.

What is the ideal temperature for Calathea?

The ideal temperature is between 18 and 24°C. Avoid temperature fluctuations and do not place the plant near cold drafts or warm air currents such as radiators.

Does Calathea need high humidity?

The Calathea likes high humidity. Make sure the humidity is at least 50% and increase it if necessary with a humidifier or by spraying the plant regularly.
