How far away from a wondow?

Question

#CalatheaFreddie I bought this plant because I read it can be kept in low light space. It's been a week, and so far, so goodm He is about 10 feet from a window. Do you think he will be ok?

@ExactSpangletop Here’s the video just in case. Disregard if you don’t want it, but I love this YouTuber for her knowledgeable, practical, and easy to absorb information. If you don’t want to click the link, search on YouTube for “Prayer Plant Care | How to Successfully Care for Calathea, Maranta, Ctenanthe, and Stromamthe” by Aloha Plant Life.

11 feet from indirect light may be a stretch. You can supplement with a grow light if you can't move closer to light. Calatheas love  higher humidity than orher pants. I would recommend a moisture tray under the pkant, or near by to keep humidity between 50 and 60%.

@DreamMachine · Answer

I agree with @GracedStrapwort , 11 feet might be pushing it a bit too far if it’s not a southern facing window (or northern facing if you’re in the southern hemisphere) and you don’t have any other supplemental light or grow light. Are you familiar with calatheas/prayer plants? Mine are about 3-4 feet from my south facing window and I group them together. I feel like they appreciate being in a little friend group, lol. If you want, I can link you one of my favorite calathea care videos, with Drea from Aloha Plant Life, and she does specifically mention her experience with “Freddie,” If I recall correctly.
