Calatheas prefer medium to bright, indirect light but tolerate low light. As tropical plants, they thrive in temperatures ranging from 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. To mimic the humidity of their native habitat, consider using a humidifier or plant mister filled with filtered water or a pebble tray. Plant them in potting soil and feed with a general houseplant fertilizer during the growing season. Each order contains 1 variety of Calathea in a 4" nursery pot, perfect for livening up any workspace as an office plant, desk plant, or beloved houseplant.
