About Calathea 'Cora'
Many of the houseplants we used to know as Calatheas now belong to the genus Goeppertia (say that three times fast). These plants have delightfully patterned leaves that come in all sorts of colors and shapes! Commonly known as prayer plants, the leaves of some species fold up at night through a process called nyctinasty meaning night movement! 😴

How to fertilize Calathea 'Cora'

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 'Cora' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Fury Calathea is dying please help My little fury Calathea is dying and it’s breaking my heart. How do I save it? My husband repotted it and I will not complain because he was trying to help but he can be a bit heavy handed with my plant babies. She has been watered, I’ve pruned any completely dead leaves. Please give tips so I can save her 😢

#CalatheaCrew #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants I just have to say that I absolutely love this plant. Don’t get me wrong, I love all my plants but Rhianna is just a challenge so she’s special. She’s given me her fair share of attitude this past 9 months but I think she’s finally found her vibe. I am worried though because I had her in an indoor greenhouse with a controlled environment the past 3 months and she’s flourishing but she’s outgrown the space. I’m hoping she holds her form until Spring which will give me the chance move things around and make room for her in the bigger greenhouse I’m hoping to get built out in my backyard 🤞🏻. #PlantAddict #NewGrowth

Rattlesnake Plant Hey! I got this girly a couple days ago! Her name is Regina! Her leaves are staring to turn blackish and curling and wilting. What is causing this? What can I do? She’s my first plant so I’m kinda clueless here. Any help would be very appreciated!

Cleaning tips!! #CalatheaCrew #WhiteFusionCalathea Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any homemade solutions to clean leaves with? I’ve been told the following already: Mixture of 2 Cups water, 2 Tbsp neem oil, 1 Tbsp peppermint Castile soap, and 1 tsp isopropyl alcohol (70%). Mixture of 1% milk & water Just wanted to know if these would be helpful to my plant or if there were any better ones y’all have come up with :)

Spots on leaves? This plant had some spots on its leaves when I got it, so I cut the damaged leaves off, but even new leaves are coming in with these spots. What's causing this and what can I do about it? #RoseCalathea

Seasonal Depression? 1st winter together, so wondering if this is easily solved by adding a grow light or adjusting humidity. She was happy from purchase early last year, up til about the end of November. Then, new growth started coming in almost transparent, followed by tips shriveling up/getting crunchy. Up to date pics in plant tag, due to no attachments enabled in mobile posts currently. Unsure what the humidity is in our home, but will update if I find out.
