Calathea Fasciata is a striking houseplant admired for its unique foliage. Its elongated leaves feature intricate patterns of dark green stripes on a lighter green background, resembling the markings of a rattlesnake. This plant is sure to add a touch of elegance and tropical charm to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Calathea Fasciata thrives in medium to bright indirect light. It should be placed near a window where it can receive 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 Fasciata consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of the soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. It's important to use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the plant.
Humidity Needs: Calathea Fasciata prefers high humidity levels. It thrives in environments with humidity levels between 50-60% or higher. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing a humidifier nearby, or placing the pot on a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles.
