Help me grow!

The stunning foliage of the Calathea Medallion plant can help brighten any home and office. Although Calatheas are perennial tropical evergreen plants, they thrive indoors with minimal care.

• I require medium to bright light to keep the variegations of my leaves looking vibrant.
• Keep my soil evenly moist, never allowing it to completely dry out but also taking care not to let it become soggy.
• Soil should be fertile, and should be able to hold enough moisture, and drain well.
• Average room temperature that suits you, suits me too.
• I flourish in high humidity levels; adequate humidity levels will prevent my leaves from curling or drooping.
• Non-poisonous and don’t harm household pets.
