Calathea Medallion
About:
Calathea Medallion can easily become your favorite houseplant. It’s a low-light plant from the tropics in Brazil. It has green patterns on top of the medallion leaves. Underneath, you notice a burgundy shade revealed at night as it folds up.
LIGHT
Your Calathea Medallion will do best in medium to bright indirect light, but will tolerate lower light situations. Never allow this plant to stand in the direct sunlight—the leaves will get sunburned!
WATER
Water your Calathea when the top 25% of soil is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
HUMIDITY
Like many tropical indoor plants, your Calathea Medallion prefers a spot with ample humidity. If leaf edges begin to curl or brown up, mist them with lukewarm water on a regular basis, use a pebble tray, or place a humidifier nearby. Your bathroom or kitchen are perfect spots for this plant because these areas tend to be more humid.
TEMPERATURE
Your Calathea Medallion enjoys warmth, preferably between 65-85 degrees, so maintain indoor temperatures above 60 degrees. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
FOOD
For best results, use a general houseplant fertilizer with iron every four weeks during the spring and summer. No fertilizer is necessary for the winter when plant growth naturally slows.
TOXICITY
Calatheas are non-poisonous plants and are safe for humans, cats, and dogs.
