About calathea holiday
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 holiday

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

Drmaatic plant :/ Guys I need help. Some of you might remember me posting and asking for help with my Rattlesnake plant Regina a couple weeks ago, and unfortunately her condition has only worsened. I’ve gotten her a humidifier and recently a grow lamp, but her leaves are continuing to yellow and crunch up. What do I do? 😭

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.

My Calathea is almost completely dead. What am I doing wrong? I've only had for a few months. It sits right next to a window.

Is my calathea Freddie making a flower? It’s watering time and I decided to give Frederika a little inspection to make sure she is doing well and no pests have invaded since she was attacked by spider mites a couple months ago. Just making sure they haven’t come back and checking out her new leaves coming in… and then I saw this! 😮 is this a flower? Or the beginning of one, more like? Also, pet tax: Cody and #BuddyTheTurtle say hi! 🐢🤗💕 #CalatheaCrew #Calathea #CalatheaFreddie #HappyPlants #babevila #NewGrowth
