Calathea Vittata, also known as Calathea Jungle Velvet, is a striking tropical plant prized for its beautiful foliage. Its elongated leaves feature bold stripes of light and dark green, adding an elegant touch to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Calathea Vittata thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Place your plant near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Calathea Vittata consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer), but be careful not to let it sit in water. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the plant.
Humidity Needs: Calathea Vittata prefers high humidity levels. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidity tray to maintain humidity around the plant. A room humidifier can also help create the ideal environment.
