45 - 55cm Calathea Whitestar Prayer Plant 14cm Pot House Plant
Calathea Whitestar, also known as Prayer Plant, is a tropical plant that is native to South America. Here are some tips for caring for your Calathea Whitestar:
-
Light: Calathea Whitestar prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the plant to lose its vibrant color. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sun, as it can damage the leaves.
-
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your Calathea Whitestar when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not let the soil dry out completely, as this can cause the leaves to wilt. Avoid using hard water, which can lead to leaf damage.
-
Humidity: Calathea Whitestar requires high humidity to thrive. You can increase the humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water nearby, using a humidifier, or grouping it with other plants.
-
Temperature: Calathea Whitestar prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-26°C). It is important to keep the plant away from cold drafts and air conditioning.
-
Soil: Calathea Whitestar prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
-
Fertilizer: Feed your Calathea Whitestar with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the winter months.
-
Pruning: Prune your Calathea Whitestar to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. You can also remove any yellowing or damaged leaves.
By following these tips, you can help your Calathea Whitestar thrive and enjoy its stunning foliage in your home.
