Very helpful tips for growing calatheas!!

It's such a valuable information. Thanks for sharing

You are right on every point for the calatheas. They are really pretty but yes a lot of care requirements:( i don't have a calathea now..used to

I left my Calathea in the car under the scorching sun and the plant got all cripply, sad, and struggling. Then I brought it home and placed it beside my bed, giving water and hiding it from the direct sun. But it kept drying out until now, where my area gets rained on twice a week. Now there is a new leaf!

I just fell in love with your personality und voice

Same problem... thanks for your help ❤️

Thank you for your wonderful help.❤

Lovely helpful video. Thank you.

Omg thankyou so much! I didn’t know I was buying such a delicate plant. But how it started drying up and dying it was so heartbreaking for me i have been searching and thakGod cane across your video! Thankyou so much

Thank you for your suggessions

Thank you so much, very informative video! I've gotten a Calathea just a week ago, precisely because I heard she's a diva among plants, so I called her Diva 😂 Good news is that I've been already following all the suggestions you mentioned, so I hope my plant will be happy, she's perky so far 😊 I've put her in a bathroom near my pothos plant, and since I work from home, I turn on the humidifier in the morning so I can create that moist, warm enviroment for them.

Very informative...just bought one..hope they thrive under my care !!

I have gained some courage from your video, now next time I visit nursery i will definitely get a calathea and try keeping them with all your tips and tricks.. Thank you once again❤

Thanks for these tips. I made these mistakes too. Especially using tap water. 😢 I hope she survives.

Thank you very much for beautiful video. It was told rain water is good. In this situation can we use stored rain water of one week old? The reason is rain water can't get all the time. In the absence of rain water can we use mineral water meant for drinking i.e., Bisleri drinking water which sold in India. Another thing can we use ground water instead of tap water as tap water contains chemicals.

Nice video with detailed explanation. I use to collect rain water whenever it rains & stored it in bottles. This stored rain water can be used?

I just brought a propageted Calethea plant in a nursery pot.....and it leaves have started curling inside....I don't know whether to repot it in a bigger pot or let it season itself for a couple of days...plz guide...thank u so much for explaining everything so nicely......

That's a very unique and honest video based on personal experience. Even I have killed them but still want to bring again. Kindly let me know how to save them in extreme summers and winters of Northern India.

some great info here and also some bad

I tend to view calatheas as long-lasting flower bouquets. I am often able to keep them alive for a period of time (1-4 years) but they eventually die on me. But it is still cheaper than buying a flower bouquet a month.

Thank you very much for very informative video. As you suggested to keep a tray of marbles with water underneath of the calatheas plants. I would like to ask how much of water should be kept. If we keep more water, plant starts observing water and soil becomes soggy.

I have a Calathea from Home Depot that was growing in water. I still have it in water but want to transition it to soil soon.

hi i am in the uk. here we struggle with the light and humidity grow lights are a option. 🙂

Thanks pretty girl. Only 5 stems left on my Calathea. They are slowly dying.

Is this plant maintenance free and does this plant grows in all type of soils.... Does this plant needs a lot of fertilizers... ????? ... Is this beautiful plant hardy and is this plant beginner friendly.... Plant ??? .....i am a total beginner novice and just started gardening... I fell in love..... ❤❤❤❤ ...... 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉..... madly with this gorgeous beautiful plant the moment I saw it in the nursery and I cudnt resist myself from buying this plant.... 😂😂 .... 🎉🎉 ... Bt I am now very very worried about this plant bcoz it doesn't seem to me as a total beginner friendly plant... So after seeing this important informative helpful video which will be so much beneficial to all the crazy plant lovers including me so I thought with ur support help and guidance it will be much more easier for me to understand and save this beautiful plant so tht this plant remains with me forever.... So expecting a quick reply back from u mam.... This is the first time I am seeing ur video and I found it very very useful.... I am from calcutta and extremely in need of ur support and guidance... Thank you.... ❤🌹 ..... so much for this video and waiting impatiently😊😊 ...... for ur reply....

do you recommend self watering system?

Where do you live......your plants r looking soooo healthy.....My Stromanthe triostar is dying after repotting....

Can u tell me the soil mix and ratio .my leaves are curling i think soil is soggy

Hi In one of my plants few leaves are curling. Soil is moist and is in well drained soil. I live in kolkata. Can you help me. Do u mist the plants everyday or in a gap

i repotted it and it died , i watered it some revived and some remailed folded ...its high maintenance plant no doubt but i find it really beautiful to be aound my home

Hi mam I have the same calathea plant you have the tall leaves with pink stripes not even one new leaf has come what could I do

Where did you get them in the first place? I'm looking for them everywhere, every nursery and online. I have one stromanthe or triostar

@plantify HELP ! Does bottled water work for these plants or does it have to be distilled or rain water for them to thrive ???

I’m wondering if this type of plant would benefit from a self watering pot. I bought a prayer plant some odd green variety and put it in a self watering plant pot and it doing amazingly well. I find some plants don’t do well in a self watering pot because they don’t like the consistent moisture I just bought a new calathea and I’m going to put it in a self watering pot hopefully it will do well.

how to prevent from root rot tq

So let's say you water your Calatheas today and tomorrow it rains. Do you still place them outside to get the rainwater??

Can we grow calthia by cutting

I bought calathiya for my sister in law. I am taking big risk here. I decided to give calathiya plant for her and calathiya are very pretty and fussy plant. I found your video described about your experience very well. I shared this video to her. So she can take care her calathiya well.😊

If rain water not available, can we use hydrogen peroxide 6ml to 1 ltr of water for the same purpose?

00:10 same i say them wile coming back to home from school 😁

Can I use ac water?

How much water need those

My ctenanthe leaves are curling after propagation, how do i fix this problem? 😭

Mam how to care them in winter?

What is "hard water"? Why calatheas don't like hard water?

One of makoyanas died and the other one I Put in the bathroom and she’s doing great

Can I use cowdung liquid fertilizer

Hlo je wat abt potting mix??

What about water from well?

I did the same mistakes.

I killed one 😭 now I'm scared to get another cos they are so costly n fussy

I see your video is inspired by Planterina.

Hindi me btayiye plese

hai

If I decide to get more they will definitely live in the bathroom.

Ma'am ,I kill more then 50 calathya plant.I think.. I can do that😅😅😅
