The Calathea Medallion, with its strikingly patterned leaves, is a popular choice among plant enthusiasts for its beauty and air-purifying qualities. Known for its vibrant colors and unique markings, it adds a touch of tropical elegance to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Calathea Medallions thrive in medium to bright, indirect light. They prefer filtered sunlight or a north-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause their leaves to fade or burn.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Calathea Medallion consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring water drains freely from the pot. Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the plant.
Humidity Needs: Calathea Medallions require high humidity to thrive. Aim for humidity levels of at least 50-60%. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby. Grouping plants together can also create a microclimate that benefits humidity-loving plants like Calathea.
