About Goeppertia majestica
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 Goeppertia majestica
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Goeppertia majestica after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Welp.. I apparently made a mistake by getting a #RoseCalathea as one of my very first plants 😂 it was just so beautiful, I couldn’t not, but upon researching them they’re one of the top 10 hardest plants to care for… any tips on how to keep my new baby alive and thriving? 😭😍 #CalatheaCrew #Calathea #calathearoseopicta #NewPlantMom #NewPlants #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantCorner #PestControl

Why are the tips brown? My calathea has these brown tips and I have no idea why? Is she to close to sunlight, she is with most of my other plants.

Repotting new plants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #CathedralWindows #Begonia Sometimes I repot plants when I bring them home and sometimes I don’t. But these two have me concerned. Their soil seems to stay too moist. It’s like they are growing out of sponges. I think they are both plants that like being moist, but this moist? The cathedral windows has me concerned because its leaves haven’t done much relaxing of a morning, and several are fairly curled up. Could it just be acclimating? It’s going to have to adjust to the house because I’m not messing with the humidity too much. It’s in a corner with a bunch of plants, and I’ll add some pebble trays as the season progresses, but it’s survival of the fittest here. So bottom line, repot or no repot?
