Description

Calathea Makoyana is a member of the Marantaceae family, which includes other popular houseplants such as Prayer Plants and Stromanthes. This plant is native to the Brazilian rainforest, where it grows in warm, humid conditions. Calathea Makoyana is a relatively easy plant to care for, but it does have some specific requirements.

• Light: Calathea Makoyana prefers moderate, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light will cause the leaves to lose their color.
• Water: Calathea Makoyana needs to be kept moist, but not soggy. Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry.
• Humidity: Calathea Makoyana thrives in high humidity. If your home is dry, you can mist the plant regularly or place it on a pebble tray.
• Temperature: Calathea Makoyana prefers temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Fertilizer: Calathea Makoyana should be fertilized every 6-8 weeks during the spring and summer. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

With proper care, Calathea Makoyana can live for many years. This plant is a beautiful addition to any home and makes a great gift for plant lovers.
