Calathea orbifolia is a striking indoor plant known for its large, round leaves feature prominent silver-gray stripes that contrast beautifully against the dark green background, giving the plant a stunning visual appeal.
Light: Calathea orbifolia prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to fade or develop scorched patches. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a location where it can receive bright, indirect light throughout the day. In low light conditions, consider supplementing with artificial grow lights.
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically every 1-2 weeks depending on environmental conditions. Use room temperature water to avoid shocking the roots. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Pruning: Remove any yellowing, damaged, or dead leaves regularly to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. You can also trim back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
Fertilization: Feed Calathea orbifolia with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in fall and winter when growth slows down.
