Calathea Musaica 'Network' requires careful care to maintain its beautiful and healthy appearance. Here are some tips for caring for this plant:

Humidity : This plant loves high humidity, so it is ideal to spray it frequently or use a humidifier in the rooms, especially in winter when the air in the house becomes dry due to heating.
-
Temperature : Calathea Musaica 'Network' prefers temperatures between 18-24°C and must be protected from cold air currents or sudden temperature changes.
-
Fertilizer : Fertilize the plant during the months of active growth (spring and summer) using a diluted fertilizer, especially for indoor plants.
-
Transplantation and soil : Transplant the plant every two years to refresh the soil. Use a rich, well-drained soil mix, ideal for tropical plants.
Note: Calathea is a sensitive plant to temperature differences. Therefore, it is possible to receive these plants with some defects on the leaves, but these do not affect the viability of the plant.
