    Needs distilled water and 60%+ humidity otherwise those whites will brown. One of my favorite plants, good luck!

      Thanks so much! So far, I have a good history with calatheas in our home so hereโ€™s hoping sheโ€™s just as happy here!

      This is by far the most challenging Calathea I have ever owned, glad you have experience because this one is one of those super rewarding challenges in life.

      Thatโ€™s a helpful heads up, as Iโ€™ve loved my calatheas and have wanted to keep adding to my collection. Hence this one. It came in tree fern fiber, which I am unfamiliar with as a medium. Has yours had a particular favorite for a potting medium?

      I also added a pebble tray today, in an attempt to increase humidity levels. It came home from the nursery with some crispy edges so it will be hard to tell for a bit how it is faring here.

      Those crisps come quickly, Iโ€™m guessing on the whites. Pebble trays unfortunately donโ€™t do enough. Figuring out how to keep my place at 60% humidity was the only way I could stop that from happening

    I love these! And I agree with evil plant dad, definitely more finicky than my other calatheas, but so worth it. Watch out for spider mites, mine are prone to them so I treat for them regularly. Yours is absolutely gorgeous!

      Ah good tip on the spider mites. Iโ€™ll keep a close eye. Thank you! Same question as for EvilPlantDad: It came in tree fern fiber, which I am unfamiliar with as a medium. Has yours had a particular favorite for a potting medium?

      Iโ€™m still experimenting with what they like best, so unfortunately I donโ€™t have a great answer for you. However, I would also leave it in whatever it came in while it adjusts to your house, itโ€™s generally not recommended to repot right away unless you really have to. My calatheas that I did repot with regular potting soil plus perlite donโ€™t seem to love it but more tolerate it, so Iโ€™ll be looking a better medium when it comes time to repot. I donโ€™t think it liked the added fertilizer that some soils have, so Iโ€™m going to look for a more natural one.
