Light Needs: Burle Marx Calatheas thrive in medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch their leaves. They are perfect for spaces with filtered sunlight or areas slightly away from windows.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Burle Marx Calathea consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring water drains freely from the pot. Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking the roots.
Humidity Needs: Maintain high humidity levels around your Burle Marx Calathea to mimic its native tropical environment. Aim for humidity levels of at least 50-60%. Regular misting or placing a humidifier nearby can help create an optimal environment.
