Care instructions
- Light / position: Calathea's thrive in medium to low indirect light. They tolerate shade. Avoid direct sunlight.

- Temperature: 17 °C (14 °C at night). Calathea's prefer a warm environment.
- Humidity: This plant requires high humidity, so spray regularly and don't put it close to a heater.
