Yours looks very healthy! ### eatyacarbs commented on 2024-08-09 omggg yesss!! i’ve been eyeing these up and plan to snag one next time i see one at a local nursery. tell us more about your conditions! #### Evil Plant Dad replied on 2024-08-11 Sorry for slow reply. I took miracle grow tropical soil and added in perlite and pumice. I fertilize every other watering with GH fertilizer and I PH balance that water as well. I always use distilled water. (The yellow tip leaves on the bottom are pre- distilled water) I keep my house around 60% humidity, and it sits in my east facing window soaking up the morning rays. :D I basically do all the things people say you have to do to keep Calatheas happy, but nobody wants to do. 😂😅 --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
