Growth habits of Calathea rotundifolia

It prefers a warm, humid, semi-shaded environment, is not tolerant of cold or drought, and dislikes exposure to scorching sun and dry hot winds.

Calathea rotundifolia is suited to growing in an environment of 18-25°C, and under these conditions the potting soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. It has extremely high requirements for air humidity, especially during the growth period of new leaves, when the plant should be misted promptly; otherwise, the dry air will cause the leaves to scorch and the new leaves to struggle to unfurl.

In addition, too strong light can also cause the leaves to wither, and insufficient light will cause the leaf stripes to fade, affecting the plant's appearance. It can be placed in a spot with bright sunlight and ample scattered light for care.
