Care Instructions

Light Requirements

The Calathea Dottie prefers low to medium indirect light. Bright, indirect light can enhance leaf coloration without causing the fading or burning that direct sunlight would.

Watering

It’s essential to keep the soil consistently moist, watering when the top inch feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Soil and Fertilization

Use an airy, light, well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a diluted general houseplant fertilizer to support its lush foliage.

Temperature and Humidity

Maintain indoor temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C - 24°C) and high humidity levels. Consider placing your Calathea in a bathroom or kitchen where humidity tends to be higher, or use a humidifier.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune away faded or damaged leaves to encourage healthier growth. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their glossy finish.

Propagation

The best method for propagating the Calathea Dottie is through division during repotting in the spring. Carefully separate the plant into smaller clumps, making sure each new plant has a part of the root system.

Companion Plants

Choosing the right companion plants can make your space a lush, healthy haven, enhancing the beauty and vitality of your garden. Opt for plants with similar light and humidity preferences to ensure they grow harmoniously together. This thoughtful selection not only enriches the visual appeal of your space but also contributes to a balanced and supportive environment where each plant can thrive.
