Your Calathea 'Princess': How to make her shine!
Congratulations on your new green royal! The 'Princess' may look elegant, but she's not a complicated diva. With a few loving gestures you'll quickly win her trust, and she will reward you with magnificent leaves. We'll show you how easy it is!
- Location: A bright throne, no direct sun
- To keep her beautiful pattern vibrant, the 'Princess' loves a bright spot without direct sunlight. [5] Harsh midday sun would scorch her delicate leaves and fade the colors. A place at an east- or north-facing window or a bright spot in the room is her throne room.
- Watering: Low-lime water for the princess!
- This is the most important rule in the Calathea kingdom: she is allergic to lime! It's best to use filtered water, distilled water, or rainwater. [5] Keep the soil evenly moist, but never let it sit in water. The finger test is your royal adviser: if the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry, it's time for a royal drink.
- Humidity: A royal spa experience
- Dry, brown leaf edges are not acceptable for a princess! She loves high humidity. [5] Pamper her by misting regularly (with low-lime water!), placing her on a tray with moist pebbles, or grouping her with other plants. This way you create a small palace climate.
- Nutrients: A feast for the sovereign
- During the growing season from spring to autumn she appreciates a small feast every 4 weeks. [5] Give her a liquid fertilizer for houseplants at half strength so as not to overwhelm her sensitive roots. In winter she rests at court and needs no fertilizer.
Your mantra: Treat her like a princess, and she will reward you like a king! Enjoy her grace and the joy she gives you every day.
