Calathea Roseopicta, also known as the Rose Painted Calathea, is a stunning indoor plant prized for its striking foliage. It features large, oval-shaped leaves with patterns of pink stripes and veins against a dark green background, adding an elegant touch to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Calathea Roseopicta thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. It should be placed near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so it's best to avoid placing it in direct sun.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Calathea Roseopicta consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water it when the top inch of the soil feels dry, allowing water to drain freely from the bottom of the pot. Ensure the plant is not sitting in water to prevent root rot.
Humidity Needs: Calathea Roseopicta prefers high humidity levels. It thrives in environments with humidity levels around 60-70%. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water. A room humidifier can also help maintain ideal humidity levels.
