Care & tips for the Calathea Ornata - 50cm
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 Ornata - 50cm need?
The potting soil of the Calathea Ornata can be kept slightly moist on a regular basis, but be careful not to overwater the plant. Excess water can collect at the bottom of the pot around the roots and cause root rot.
That's why we recommend feeling the soil before every watering. Is it still moist from last time? Then wait a little longer.
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 Ornata - 50cm need?
The Calathea Ornata originally grows in the tropics of South America and the Amazon region, in the shade of large trees. That's why the plant doesn't tolerate too much (direct) light and prefers a shady spot in your home too. In a spot like that the leaves stay at their most beautiful and the plant is encouraged to produce new leaf patterns.
Is the Calathea Ornata - 50cm toxic?
No, luckily the Calathea Ornata is completely pet- and child-friendly!
