Pet Safe

Calathea are generally considered pet safe.

Light

Bright, indirect light or partial shade. Keep out of direct sun. 

Water Requirements

Water thoroughly when the top inch of the soil is dry, typically around once a week. Calathea like to remain slightly moist, but avoid overwatering and do not allow them to sit in standing water, as they are susceptible to root rot.  They love humidity, so a nice mist every once in a while or placement in a humid room, such as a bathroom, will help keep them happy!
