Care Instructions for Calathea Beauty Star
Light Requirements: Calathea Beauty Star prefers low to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the beautiful colors on its leaves to fade. Place it in a spot with filtered light, such as a north or east-facing window, or a bit further from a brighter window.
Watering: The Calathea Beauty Star enjoys consistently moist soil, so aim to water it when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use distilled or filtered water if possible, as Calatheas are sensitive to chemicals in tap water. Generally, watering once or twice a week is sufficient, but adjust based on your home’s humidity and temperature.
Humidity and Temperature: As a tropical plant, Calathea Beauty Star thrives in high humidity environments. Aim for a humidity level of at least 50-60%. If your home has lower humidity, consider misting the leaves, placing a humidifier nearby, or using a humidity tray. The plant prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and should be kept away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
Soil Requirements: Plant your Calathea Beauty Star in a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark helps improve aeration and drainage while retaining the right moisture level. This helps keep the plant’s roots healthy and free from rot.
Fertilizing: Feed your Calathea Beauty Star with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in the winter when the plant’s growth naturally slows. Over-fertilizing can cause leaf burn, so always follow package directions.
Pruning: Occasionally prune your Calathea by removing any yellowed or damaged leaves to maintain its beauty. Regular pruning not only keeps the plant looking tidy but also encourages new growth.
Repotting: The Calathea Beauty Star may need repotting every 1-2 years. If you notice roots beginning to outgrow the pot, it’s time to repot. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one, ideally in early spring, to allow the plant to establish itself in its new home during the growing season.

A: This plant doesn’t require much pruning but will benefit from occasional removal of yellow or damaged leaves to maintain its appearance and promote fresh growth.
