Caring for Calathea majestica 'Whitestar'
Light
Provide indirect light or partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the delicate leaves.
Watering
Keep the substrate slightly moist. Water when the top layer begins to dry out, and pour off any excess water from the cachepot. Use soft, room-temperature water; the plant is sensitive to both hard water and complete drying out.
Temperature and Humidity
It prefers a warm environment free from cold drafts and high air humidity. Do not place it right next to a heater. Dry air can cause the leaf edges to dry out.
Fertilizing and Substrate
During the growing season, fertilize with a mild dose of fertilizer for green houseplants. Use an airy substrate that retains moderate moisture and a pot with drainage holes.
Leaf Care
Gently wipe off dust with a damp cloth. Regularly check the undersides of the leaves, especially in dry environments.
