About This Botanical
Calathea 'Purple Rose'
How to care for Calathea Purple Rose
- Light: medium to bright indirect light. Direct sun fades the leaves and scorches them.
- Water: keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top starts to dry, and do not let the pot stand in water.
- Humidity and temperature: high humidity helps, so a humidifier, pebble tray or bathroom works well. Keep it above 65°F and away from vents.
- Water quality: room-temperature water. If brown tips appear, try filtered or rainwater.
