Calathea Musaica Variegated

4 Inch Pot

Position your Calathea Network in an area with indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch its delicate foliage. Optimal locations include spaces near north or east-facing windows where it can benefit from filtered sunlight. If natural light is limited, supplement with artificial grow lights to maintain its vibrant appearance.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your Calathea Network when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically every 1-2 weeks depending on environmental conditions. Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking the roots, and ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain away freely from the pot. During the winter months, reduce watering frequency slightly to prevent overwatering and maintain soil moisture balance.

For optimal growth, plant your Calathea Network in a well-draining potting mix that's rich in organic matter. A blend of peat moss, perlite, and coarse sand ensures sufficient drainage while retaining moisture, providing the perfect environment for healthy root development.
