How to Care for Calathea Lutea

Calathea Lutea, known for its tall stems and broad, paddle-shaped leaves, is a striking tropical plant that adds elegance to any space. Proper care is essential to keep its bold appearance healthy and lush. Here's everything you need to know:

☀️ Light

Calathea Lutea prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct exposure to harsh midday sun, as it can scorch the leaves. A spot near a filtered window or under a sheer curtain works best.

💧 Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Use room-temperature water, ideally filtered or rainwater, to avoid leaf tip browning caused by chlorine or fluoride.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

This plant thrives in warm temperatures between 18°C and 28°C. It also requires high humidity to grow well. Mist the leaves regularly, use a pebble tray, or place a humidifier nearby to maintain moisture in the air.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Ensure the pot has a proper drainage hole to prevent waterlogging.

🧽 Leaf Maintenance

Wipe the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and allow the plant to photosynthesize effectively. Avoid using any leaf shine products.

🌱 Fertilizing

Feed the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) using a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Avoid overfeeding during winter when growth slows down.
