Calathea Stripestar Location

Calathea Stripestar Care
Caring for the Calathea Stripestar is simple. Always keep the potting soil slightly moist, but avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot. Preferably use filtered or rainwater, as tap water sometimes contains too much lime. The Calathea Stripestar loves high humidity; spray the leaves regularly with water or use a humidifier. Give the plant liquid plant food monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) and remove yellow or brown leaves to keep the plant healthy.
