About Calathea fasciata
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 fasciata
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 fasciata after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

She's looking a little dull #FurryFeatherCalathea Hello, new to this community. So glad to have found this app. Can anyone help me understand why my Calathea is looking dull and has yellowing leaves. I have only had her about a month. She gets watered about once a week, like most of my plants. The room is well lit but she is about 10ft from the window. I have just moved her from a darker area of the room to a brighter more elevated spot.

Apparently Ms. Sophia got sick due to a self-watering pot. She doesn’t like the overly moist soil. Would it be too stressful/shocking to repot? #CalatheaFreddie
