Calathea Orbifolia indoor

Calathea Orbifolia, prized for its striking foliage, is a popular choice among indoor plant enthusiasts. Originating from the tropical forests of Bolivia, it thrives in warm, humid environments, making it ideal for indoor cultivation.

Light Requirements:This plant prefers indirect light and is sensitive to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Place it near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit room without direct exposure to the sun.

Temperature and Humidity: Maintain temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day and avoid sudden temperature drops. Calathea Orbifolia thrives in high humidity, so consider using a humidifier or placing it on a pebble tray to increase moisture levels.

Watering and Soil: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks. Use well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter to ensure proper drainage.

Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows down.

Propagation: Propagate Calathea Orbifolia through division during repotting in spring. Separate the plant at the rootball and plant each division in its own pot to encourage new growth.

Common Issues: Watch for spider mites, which are attracted to dry conditions. Maintain high humidity and regularly mist the leaves to deter pests. Browning leaf tips may indicate underwatering or low humidity.

Conclusion: Calathea Orbifolia is a stunning addition to any indoor plant collection, providing vibrant foliage and a touch of tropical elegance. By meeting its specific care requirements, you can enjoy this beautiful plant’s lush appearance year-round.
