New plants 🪴 I’m obsessed with my Calathea 🥰❤️

@

2025/8/3 Edited to

Calathea plants are well-loved for their striking foliage characterized by bold patterns and vibrant colors, making them a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts. Native to the tropical Americas, these plants thrive in environments that mimic their natural humid and warm conditions. To ensure your Calathea remains healthy and lush, it's essential to provide bright indirect light—direct sunlight can scorch their delicate leaves. Maintaining consistent moisture in the soil without waterlogging is crucial; use well-draining soil and water when the top inch feels dry. Calatheas also benefit greatly from high humidity, so consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water. Regularly wiping the leaves can help keep them dust-free and maximize photosynthesis. Additionally, these plants prefer warmer temperatures, ideally between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C), and should be kept away from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations. Incorporating these care tips will help your Calathea flourish as a stunning indoor botanical addition.

Plants mistakes I made 🥀

In the beginning of my journey I was just so eager to collect them all— I forgot why I was collecting them in the first place. To admire their beauty and care for them. I lost sight of this— having so many that i couldn’t keep up with the care. I lost interest, so naturally I lost a lot of plants.
