While the Calathea Zebrina may require a bit more attention than typical low-maintenance houseplants, it rewards dedicated care with vibrant, lush foliage and impressive growth. To keep it thriving, place it in bright, indirect sunlight, as direct rays can scorch its delicate leaves. Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not soggy, using distilled, filtered, or rainwater to avoid mineral damage. High humidity is essential—ideally above 60%—so consider using a humidifier, pebble trays, or occasional misting to create a tropical environment. Maintain a temperature range of 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) and protect it from cold drafts or heat sources. Plant it in a well-draining, peat-based potting mix, ensuring the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. During the growing season, feed your Calathea Zebrina with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every four weeks, reducing feedings in the fall and winter. With attentive care, this tropical beauty will remain a striking centerpiece in your home.
