Calathea picturata Argentea Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Quit the curl! Leaves curling on your plant is a sign the plant is thirsty. Rehydrate and revitalize with some distilled water.
A mist a day will go a long way! This needy plant likes a lot of attention, especially when it comes to humidity.
A family resemblance! Like many other calathea, this one also likes warm, humid environments. Try to keep away from cold windows, draughts or locations with lots of passing traffic. Brown tips are common.

Temperature
Prefers warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-23°C, but can cope with as low as 15°C. Avoid draughts and ensure the plant has reasonable ventilation.
