Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch the leaves

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy – water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry

Humidity: Loves high humidity; mist regularly or place near a humidifier to prevent crispy edges

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix suitable for tropical houseplants

Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced feed

Temperature: Maintain between 18–26°C; protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops

Growth: Typically reaches 40–60 cm tall indoors

🌿 Tip: Use filtered or rainwater for watering, as Calatheas are sensitive to chemicals in tap water – keeping your Calathea ornata vibrant and healthy.
