Kind of finicky

### Tori commented on 2025-07-03

Get one! I was told this and it was my first plant. It’s been alive for 5 months since I’ve had it with lots of new growth and blooms. Give it distilled water and find its right light that it likes and it’ll love you!!

I will def get one then! Do you think rainwater will work too?

Rainwater would be great!

#### Tori replied on 2025-07-03

Rainwater is all plants best friend

Mine haven’t been finicky at all. As long as you don’t overwater them.

Finicky

I have 70 plants and I’ve had 5 of these and can’t keep one alive 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

They’re drama queens and spider mite magnets, but I’m going on year 5 now with these two white fusion Calathea. They have almost died many times but are happy at the moment
