A daily spectacle that makes you forget the stresses of everyday life.

Your Calathea lutea: How to make it grow big and strong!
Wow, you've chosen a real character! Calathea lutea is more robust than many of its relatives and forgives the odd mistake. With these tips, you can give it the perfect start in life so that it feels completely at home with you.
- Location: Plenty of light, no blazing sun
- Imagine your Lutea is at the edge of a clearing in the rainforest. It loves light! Give it as much indirect light as possible so that its leaves grow large and strong. [4] A spot near a south or west-facing window (but protected by a curtain) is ideal. Unlike other Calatheas, it can tolerate more light, but you should avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf burns.
- Watering: Regularly, but without wet feet
- The Lutea likes its soil evenly moist. Water it thoroughly as soon as the top 2-3 cm of soil have dried out. [5] Always allow excess water to drain well, as it does not like waterlogging. It also prefers low-lime water! Filtered water or stagnant tap water is a good choice to minimise brown leaf edges.
- Humidity: A little jungle spa
- Although it is more tolerant than other Calatheas, it still enjoys higher humidity. [5] Especially in winter with dry heating air, it will thank you for occasional spraying. Alternatively, you can also place a bowl of water next to it. This ensures happy leaves and prevents pests.
Your mantra: Enjoy growing! There is hardly anything more satisfying than seeing a new, huge leaf unfurl. You and your Calathea lutea - you're a strong team!
