I figured out how to keep my Calathea Jungle Velvet happy finally! I build a budget table top greenhouse. I purchased a jungle velvet and the leaves were curling as soon as I got it, it nearly died. I purchased a second one because I thought I would loose the first one. Got the greenhouse while waiting for the second plant. The humidity was the issue!

I just got a Calathea Velvet Jungle! I’ve only had it about a week. Hopefully where I have it will work but now I’m worried!! We shall see how it goes! They are so pretty and soft!

I hope it goes well for you! If you think of it, let me know how it’s going, I’m interested to hear!
