Your Calathea 'Beautiful Star': How its stripes shine!
Congratulations on your pinstripe beauty! Calatheas have a reputation for being demanding, but don't let that intimidate you. With a few loving tricks you'll make the pink stripes of your 'Beautiful Star' glow. We promise: it's easier than you think!
- Location: Bright, but please no sunburn
- Your Calathea loves bright, indirect light. That's where its colors stay most intense. A spot at an east- or north-facing window is ideal. [5] Direct sun, especially the hot midday sun, will burn its beautiful leaves and cause the pink to fade. Find a cozy, bright spot for it without direct sunlight.
- Watering: The be-all and end-all – low-mineral water!
- This is the most important care tip for any Calathea! It reacts very sensitively to the minerals in tap water. Use rainwater, filtered or distilled water if possible. [4] Keep its soil consistently slightly moist, but absolutely avoid waterlogging. When the top 2 cm of soil feel dry, it's time for a drink. If the leaves roll up, it's practically crying out for water!
- Humidity: A touch of tropical air
- For flawless leaves without dry, brown edges, high humidity is crucial. [5] It loves being misted regularly with low-mineral water. Alternatively, you can place it on a tray with water and pebbles or put a humidifier nearby. Grouping it with other plants also helps!
- Nutrients: Food for beauty
- During the growing season from spring to autumn it will appreciate a dose of liquid fertilizer for houseplants every 4 weeks. Important: only fertilize at half strength to protect its sensitive roots. In winter it takes a break and doesn't need fertilizer.
Your mantra: You and your plant, you're a team! Observe it, enjoy the process, and celebrate every new perfectly patterned leaf. You've got this!
