Yeah… they really need to add a Calathea group on here!  
Try typing in the word calathea to the search field in community top and read the many many other posts with exact questions and answers. That will help!

I’ve had my Calathea for a few months now and she hasn’t stopped growing! I keep her in my living room - she gets lots of indirect sunlight. Whenever I water her I never give her too much, just enough to saturate the top layer of soil.

I’m no expert but that’s what I’ve been doing to keep her going and it works! All the best xo
