Caring Tips

Watering

The biggest care requirement for Calatheas is frequent watering. They like moist soil without being too wet or with puddles on the surface. While other houseplants need only be watered once a week or once every two weeks, water your Calathea every 5 days or so.

Light

Calathea rufibarba ideally needs bright indirect light, avoid direct sunlight. If you plan on bringing this plant to your office or house, make sure that it sits at least 3-4 feet from your window to give it enough light. Despite needing a lot of diffused light, your rufibarba will survive in a shadier area

PLANT INFO
