    This was always one of my absolute favorite calathea (and one of two I could keep alive). I may have to buy another one because of your post! ๐Ÿคฃ

      Definitely my favorite plant too. He struggled moving from Michigan to Texas but heโ€™s a survivor. I was so nervous to repot but it actually was the best thing bc Iโ€™ve had 7 new leaves sprout since repotting 2 months ago ๐Ÿฅน just obsessed

      I have a calathea network that definitely shows off after a repot! They really do love getting new shoes

      My biggest tip is not to water too often. I used to do weekly like planta said but really saw an improvement when I would stretch to 14 ish days between watering. Frequent misting/humidifier and personally I stopped using fertilizer and just top off the soil every few months. My calathea has really been loving moisture control soil too; I repotted it with that and got 7 new leaves. I think thatโ€™s also why I can go so long between waterings. I also stay in Texas so itโ€™s getting a lot of natural light.

    Gorgeous! Nice job! Itโ€™s on my list and Iโ€™m decent with Calatheas but theyโ€™re always in rough shape when I see them at the store.

      Mine definitely struggled the first time I got him. He would sprout a new leaf and then lose an old one but since moving to Houston, heโ€™s been loving the sun and humidity. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿพ This is actually my second bc I killed the first one after repotting lol, trial and error with these guys.
