Newbie here… So, I didn’t realise Calatheas are actually a bit tricky to take care of… so I’ve had mine for about a month and so far so good! Any dos and donts? 🤞🏻

Ah! I watered it today and looks like the leaves are on the droopy side… so this is really good to know, thank you!

Or rain water!

I refill my small humidifier 2-3 times a day, and mist often. During spa day, trim dead edges and remove unappealing leaves by cutting as close to the dirt as possible. I actually trimmed mine yesterday and I don’t see myself needing to again for a long time.

Yes, I was just thinking of getting a humidifier or just a pebble tray! Thank you :)
