Your Calathea 'Crimson': Keep Its Colors Brilliant!
Congratulations on your new, dramatic roommate! Calatheas are considered divas, but don’t worry — the 'Crimson' will tell you exactly what it needs. With these simple tips you’ll create a paradise for it and its colors will blow you away.
- Location: Bright shade for vivid colors
- Your 'Crimson' loves bright but strictly indirect light. [7] Direct sun will fade its dramatic colors and can scorch the leaves. [2] A spot near an east- or north-facing window is ideal. The more gentle light it gets, the more intense the pink of its leaves will be.
- Watering: Consistently moist & please use low-lime water!
- This is the secret for any happy Calathea: it hates lime in the water! [3] Preferably use filtered water, rainwater, or, if necessary, tap water that you have left to stand overnight. Keep the soil evenly slightly moist, but don’t drown it. [2] The top 2 cm of soil may dry out a bit, then it’s time to water again. If the leaves roll up, it’s very thirsty!
- Humidity: A tropical spa day
- High humidity is a must for those flawless leaves. [2] Brown, dry leaf edges are a cry for more moisture. Mist it regularly, place it on a tray with damp pebbles, or give it a spot in a bright bathroom. [1, 17] It will thank you with radiant beauty.
- Nutrients: A little snack for the show
- During the growing season from spring to autumn it will appreciate a liquid fertilizer for houseplants every 4 weeks. [2] Very important: use only half the concentration stated on the bottle to protect its sensitive roots. [11] In winter it takes a break and doesn’t need fertilizer.
Your mantra: Enjoy its dramatic nature! Every new leaf is a reward. Watch it and you’ll quickly become an expert on its needs.
