Calathea lancifolia is a wonderfully showy houseplant. It has upright, lance-shaped leaves with long wavy edges that form in clumps, spreading slowly over time.
Light
Bright, indirect light: Place near an east- or west-facing window, or pull back from a bright window.
Avoid direct sun: Strong sunlight will fade the leaf markings and scorch the foliage.
Water
Keep evenly moist: Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
Avoid soggy soil: Do not let the plant sit in standing water, which causes root rot.
Use filtered or rainwater: This plant is sensitive to fluoride and minerals in tap water, which can turn leaf tips brown. [
Humidity & Temperature
High humidity: Thrives in humid environments; use a humidifier, a pebble tray, or group it with other plants.
Warm temperatures: Keep between 18°C and 25°C (65°F–75°F).
No drafts: Protect from cold drafts, air conditioners, and sudden temperature drops below 15°C.
