Calathea Leopardina, also known as the "Leopard Prayer Plant," is a tropical houseplant that is native to South America. Its striking foliage makes it a popular choice among houseplant enthusiasts.
Here are some care tips for Calathea Leopardina:
-
Lighting: Calathea Leopardina thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Use room temperature water, and avoid using chlorinated water if possible.
-
Humidity: Calathea Leopardina prefers high humidity. Consider placing a humidifier near the plant, or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase the humidity in the surrounding air.
-
Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm room with a temperature between 65 and 80°F (18-26°C). Avoid placing the plant near cold drafts or air conditioning vents.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix that is rich in organic matter.
-
Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
-
Pruning: Remove any yellow or brown leaves as soon as you notice them, as they will not recover.
With proper care, Calathea Leopardina can grow to be a healthy, beautiful plant that adds a touch of the jungle to any room in your home.
