Calathea plants are part of the family of plants known as Marantaceae. They are famous for their wide, green, colorful leaves. Calathea musaica (officially called Goeppertia kegeljanii) combines stunningly intricate foliage and easier care requirements than many other Calatheas.
Planting & Care
Sunlight: Bright, indirect light, although will tolerate a greater range of lighting than some other Calatheas.
Soil: Well-draining, but moisture-retentive soil. A mix of 2/3 peat or coco-coir and 1/3 perlite is a good option.
Watering: Water thoroughly once the top inch of soil feels dry. Make sure to let the pot drain thoroughly after watering.
Temperature: 65°F (18ºC) to 85°F (30°C). Will stop growing below 60°F (15°C).
Fertilizer: Fertilize with a balanced preparation every 4-6 weeks during Spring and Summer.
Pruning: Remove dead or damaged foliage just above soil level.
