Calathea Musaica Network (Peacock plant) - XL specimens
Calathea Musaica Network , also known as the "peacock plant", is a popular indoor plant due to its brightly colored leaves and decorative appearance.
Calathea Musaica 'Network' requires careful care to maintain its beautiful and healthy appearance. Here are some tips for caring for this plant:
-
Light : Prefer indirect, bright light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while insufficient light can make the patterns on the leaves less visible.
-
Water : Calathea must be watered regularly, keeping the soil constantly moist, but not soaked. The water must be at room temperature and preferably lime-free. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent water stagnation.
-
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.
