Calathea Musaica, Calathea Bella- Plant

Planting And Care

• A lack of water, however, will cause leaves to curl.
• Humidity is the next problem to be conquered when growing zebras indoors.
• Plants should be misted several times a week.
  

  Care

   

  Sunlight	Diffused light, Calathea musaica will do best in bright, indirect light, such as a few feet away from a window.
  Watering	Regular small amounts of water during the growing seasons as soon as the surface starts to dry up. This calathea prefers distilled or filtered water as its leaves have a tendency to react poorly to many compounds and minerals in tap water such as fluoride and chlorine.
  Soil	Holds moisture but is also well draining. A good potting mix consists of one part soil, two parts peat moss and two parts perlite.
  Temperature	Temperatures above 55 degrees F (13 degrees C) to survive and temperatures around 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) to thrive.
  Fertilizer	Fertilize occasionally with a half-strength solution of liquid fertilizer.
