Care Requirements:
Light: Calathea Burle Marx thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
Water: It prefers to be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Humidity: This plant enjoys higher humidity levels and benefits from regular misting or a humidifier.
Temperature: It prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It should be kept away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
Soil: Well-draining potting mix is essential to prevent root rot. A mix designed for houseplants with peat and perlite or orchid bark works well.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
