Calathea with pink leaves is very trendy. A particularly beautiful variety is the Crimson with its pink leaf center. With its pink leaf pattern, it is not only a real eye-catcher, but also ensures a better indoor climate and is a tip for pet owners, because Calathea are non-toxic to animals.
Light
As with most variegated plants, Calathea need plenty of diffused light. Direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose their markings. They can tolerate some degree of shade, but the more indirect light, the finer the foliage.
Watering
Calathea must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think ‘little and often’ as a watering policy.
Humidity
High humidity levels are a must. Mist frequently to improve humidity conditions and pop it near the shower from time-to-time to give it an extra boost.
Feed
Liquid fertiliser can be applied during the growing season, once a month or so should be sufficient.
Toxicity
This Calathea is considered non-toxic, therefore safe around children and pets.
