Care Instructions for Calathea Roseopicta Dottie
To maintain the lush and vibrant appearance of your Calathea Dottie, follow these care tips:
- Light Requirements: Prefers low to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can fade the pink markings and cause leaf burn. Calathea Dottie will flourish in a spot with bright, filtered light.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, and use room-temperature, filtered water to prevent mineral buildup.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Aim for a humidity level of 60% or above. Place it near a humidifier or mist it regularly to keep the foliage looking its best.
- Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations, as the plant is sensitive to temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
- Soil: A well-draining, peat-based potting mix is ideal. Consider adding perlite or orchid bark for improved aeration and drainage.
- Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months, as the plant’s growth naturally slows down.
- Pruning: Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain a healthy appearance. Regular pruning encourages growth and enhances the plant’s overall shape.
- Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes to allow healthy root growth.
