Your Calathea 'Dottie': How to Keep Her Dark and Mysterious!
Wow, you've snagged a real icon! 'Dottie' may look like a diva, but with a few simple rules you'll quickly become her best friend. We'll show you how to make her dark beauty and the bright pink accents shine.
- Location: Gentle Light for Dark Leaves
- To keep her leaves nicely dark and the contrast intense, 'Dottie' loves a bright spot without direct sunlight. [5] Too much sun will fade her colors and can burn the delicate leaves. [2] A spot at a north- or east-facing window, or a few meters away from a south-facing window, is perfect.
- Watering: Low-Calc Water Is Her Elixir of Life!
- This is the golden rule for every Calathea: she hates lime! Ideally use filtered water, rainwater, or distilled water. [5] Keep the soil consistently slightly moist, but make sure there is no waterlogging. [2] The finger test is your best friend: if the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry, it's time for a drink.
- Humidity: A Tropical Mist
- Crispy, brown leaf edges? That's a cry for more humidity! As a tropical plant she loves moisture. [5] Mist her regularly (with low-calcium water!), place her on a tray with damp pebbles, or put a humidifier nearby. A spot in the bathroom also makes her happy.
- Nutrients: A Small Snack for the Diva
- From spring to autumn, during her growth phase, she appreciates a little boost every 4 weeks. [5] Use a liquid houseplant fertilizer, but dose it at only half the strength recommended on the package to protect her sensitive roots. In winter she takes a break and doesn't need fertilizer.
Your mantra: Don't be afraid of the diva! Watch her, learn her language, and enjoy the show she puts on for you every day. You've got this!
