Care Tips for Your Color Full® Orbifolia Calathea

• Light: It prefers indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Keep evenly moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. If a small pot, allow just the top to dry. 
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.
• Temperature: The ideal temperature range is 60-85°F (15-29°C).
• Humidity: High humidity is preferred. Mist the leaves once a day if you have a dry environment.
• Fertilization: Fertilize once per month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer.
• Pet Friendly: YES
• Pests and Diseases: It is susceptible to mealybugs and spider mites. If you notice any pests, treat them with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.
• Troubleshooting: If the leaves are turning yellow, it may be a sign of overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out more between waterings. If the leaves are curling up, it may be a sign of underwatering. Water the plant more frequently.
