How to Care for Your Calathea ‘Vittata’

Place your Calathea ‘Vittata’ in a spot with filtered light east-facing windows or spaces away from direct sun are ideal. Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive soil mix and water regularly to maintain consistent hydration. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or become waterlogged.

Humidity is essential for this variety. Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or group with other tropicals to maintain a stable environment. To avoid brown tips, water with distilled or filtered water, as it is sensitive to salts and minerals found in tap water.

Rotate weekly to promote even growth and wipe leaves occasionally to keep their stunning pattern dust-free and vibrant.
