Hello! I am new here and to the (serious) business of house plants. I got this calathea ornata a few days ago but I wanted to know what was the best fertilizer for them? I know they can be pretty picky. Thanks in advance!

MamaJujuOmg she looks so happy for you being a newbie! Calatheas aren’t easy! Great job! I use worm castings because they’re sensitive to chemicals. And if no one has ever told you, they thrive with distilled water. 🌱✨

RoxyI let my water sit out overnight before using it - I use earthworm casings and joyful dirt fertilizer. And they seem to like it. I have a few varieties of this plant and they are dramatic

So I’ve heard 😅 went to a house plant seminar and there were no warnings when I was picking out my first.

Yeah my ornata is named “brat” in my app, other Calatheas include “pain”, “drama” and “whiny” lol

😭 That’s too funny. I went to several stores today looking for distilled water but when my girl was a baby I gave her tap water. 😂

So did I 🫠 it’s okay, they have no choice to forgive us or they would have to go thirsty! I actually got a machine from Amazon for like $60 that makes distilled water! It’s brand is “vevor”.

She still drinks it to this day so it can’t be too bad! 🤣 Thanks for the tip, I might have to invest if it stays hard to find (and if I manage to keep it alive).
