☀️ Calathea Dottie Care Guide

Light: Provide medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade the pink markings. Lower light may be tolerated, but brighter filtered light generally helps maintain attractive foliage.

Watering: Keep the soil lightly and consistently moist without making it soggy. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, and let excess water drain away.

Water Quality: Calatheas can be sensitive to minerals and chemicals in tap water. If brown leaf tips appear, try filtered water, distilled water, or rainwater to see whether water quality is contributing.

Soil: Choose a rich, moisture-retentive but well-draining potting mix. Avoid soil that stays saturated, as prolonged wetness can cause root problems.

Temperature: Keep the plant warm, ideally around 65–85°F. Protect it from cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and frost.

Humidity: Higher humidity helps keep the foliage looking its best. A humidifier is often the most reliable way to increase humidity indoors. Maintain good airflow to discourage common plant pests.

Fertilizer: During active growth in spring and summer, use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted according to the product label. Avoid overfertilizing, since excess fertilizer salts may damage sensitive roots and leaves.

Maintenance: Remove damaged leaves with clean scissors and check the undersides of leaves periodically for pests. Leaf movement throughout the day is normal for many prayer plants.
