How to fertilize Calathea anulque
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Calathea anulque after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I hate hate *hate* plants in soil. Especially calathea soil. I got complacent and stopped using my moisture meter. When they started looking really rough after a week away from home, I tested the soil by touch. Still "wet", so I thought I had overwatered 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ now one is dead and the other at deaths door. I've "tested" the soil in the meantime several times. Always going away with a still damp feeling, which is why I watered very sparingly. (I had neither time nor energy to repot and look at the roots, though I assumed they were severely damaged. You know. Because of all the overwatering.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️) Now I've checked with the meter, and apparently, it's bone dry. If you excuse me, I have a Dottie to bury and afterward I will relax and take care of my normal non-soil plants (hoya and orchids, succulents in a pinch) that will never deceive and betray me like this. Let this be your sign not to stop using your bamboo stick or moisture meter if you have similar problems. #notsohappyplants #calathea #plantgraveyard

Calathea White (con)fusion Hi! Is there any chance for her to survive? I have no idea what can be wrong. I’ve googled that yellow leaves show overwatering and curled ones overwatering. But I see both cases here. #CalatheaCrew #Calathea #CalatheaWhiteFusion

What is the best size and kind of pot for this plant? #Calathea

What in the Calathea is this? I came across this Zebrina looking Calathea on reddit, and I am stumped on what it is 🤔🌿 It is almost patterned as a Zebrina, but the back of the leaves are red. The leaves do have similarities, but they are definitely not the same... Does anyone know? 😅🌿 @MockingJay do you maybe know? ☺️🌿 #calatheacrew #calathea #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #plantaddict

What’s up with #Calathea

Advice with watering a range of plants! I think a range of my plants’ soil has become hydrophobic, but how can I be sure? They’re still growing new leaves (albeit slowly given the time of year) but when I use my moisture meter the reading keep coming out dry even if I sit them in water for an hour (water level is at least half way up the pot). Any advice on what to do? I’m struggling with half my plants such as my #calathea #aloevera #ficus #arrowhead #peacelily #minirose #watering #help

My first calathea. Easy to propagate by division, forgiving & great company. Yup, I said company! Listening to her leaves brush the wall & other plants as she goes to sleep at night made me feel less alone during the UK Covid lockdowns. My favourite plant child!

Kinda tricky to take care of if you live in a dry place like me (SoCal). But has a lot of personality. I love how the leaves raise at the end of the day/during the night!

Absolutely stunning centre piece plant, but browns easily so watch out for that 💖

my favorite calathea i own, she was my first ‘high maintenance’ plant and she took a beating when i was figuring her out just to continuously explode with 4-6 new leaves a week. not to mention, my cats completely chewed on half the leaves and she didn’t skip a beat. we love her.
- keep humidity above 50%
- water when almost dry
- medium/bright indirect light
